Audio Information and Media
What is Audio?
sound, especially when recorded,
transmitted, or reproduced Audio Media
Media communication that uses audio or
recordings to deliver and transfer information through the means of sound Different Audio Channels Different Audio Channels
1. Radio Broadcast- can either be live or
recorded audio which travels through radio waves for a magnified audience. 2. Music- uses vocal or instrumental sounds blended to produce harmony and evoke emotions. Different Audio Channels
3. Sound Recording - is used when conducting
interview, meeting, or sounds coming from the surroundings. 4. Sound Clips/Effects - provide a theoretical effect where sound can “artifiially produced” such as cascading falls, creaking of door, sounds of thunder and many others. Different Audio Channels
5. Audio Podcast - can be copied from a
website to a computer where digital files and recording are stored. Storing Audio Media Storing Audio Media
• Magnetic Type - is one of the oldest ways to record
sounds especially hatby journalist in conducting interviews. • Compact Disk - is an optic data that can store audio, video, and computer data. • Universal Serial Bus - is an external flash drive that save files through the use of a computer with a USB port. Storing Audio Media
• Memory Card - serves as an electronic memory card
that stores pictures, text, audio, video. • Computer Hard Drive - stored a large amount of text, audio and video files from the computer. • Internet/Cloud - stores all types of files through website and can be retrieved anytime as long as there is an internet. Types of Audio File Formats Types of Audio File Formats
MP3 (MPEG-1 or MPEG- 2) - is a common format for the
transfer and playback of music on must digital audio players. M4A/AAC (MPEG 4 Audio Advanced Audio Coding) - is an audio coding standard for lossy digital audio compression. Types of Audio File Formats
Waveform Audio File Format (Wave or Wav) - is a
Microsoft and IBM audio file structure that stores audio files from the computer. WMA(Windows Media Audio) - is a file extension that has audio format and audio code used with Windows Media Player. Listening Vs. Hearing
Hearing - is a physiological progression that
begins from the eardrums until it reaches the brain. Listening - is a physiological and internal process where the starts to decode the sound signals and makes meaning from it. Sound Characteristics and Purpose Sound Characteristic and Purpose
Element of sound design
• Dialogue - are conversations, speech, and voice over. • Sound Effects - are sounds other than dialogue or music. • Music - can be taken from vocal or instrumental sounds to create harmony. • Silence - means the nonexistence of music or conversation. Sound Characteristics and Purposes
Principle of Sound design
• Mixing - gives, blend, and regulation of various sound features. • Pace - gives time management, ability to edit, and provide sequencing such as linear, not linear, or multi- linear. Transition gives a bridge from one segment to anoher.
a. Segue takes place when one segment ends, the next section also begins. b. Cross-Fade takes place when one segment fades away, the next section comes and overlaps happens along with it. c. V-Fade takes place when the “ first element fades to anaudible before the second element begins.” d. Fade-to-back-V-Fade happens when there is silence between the sections and effects. Stereo Imaging takes place when on employs depth suing the left and right channels. The End
