#anaolgue

[novustrad]

Guys, have you seen this new (month or so old) anaolgue horror?

Spoilers for trigger warnings:

Contains flashing images, jump scares, allusions to child death, religious based horror, religious (Catholic specific I think) themes, sounds of a baby crying and blood.

So I've never read(/seen?) Home Stuck and I'm just assuming that S flip video is just usually how it be.

Nah it's heavily glitched out (some with direct intentional editing and some with anaolgue glitching) using a vhs glitching technique called generational loss which I don't entirely understand LOL

Love seeing photos of my art in Situ. Keep looking for my bottles and cans and sending me pics. @collectivebrew #collectivebrew #vintagecars #vintagetrucks #legs #collage #anaolgue (at Toronto, Ontario)

Digital Audio Production

“Analogue voltage can be infinitely complex” - my college professor who’s name I still can’t remember

Digital is finite, it’s not infinitely complex.

Digital language can be broken down to binary codes. (1′s and 0′s)

Sampling

Quantization

Sampling is the periodic sample of an audio waveform. Such as when you record any audio from any input source and the recorded date gets sent into the Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) to be played back, edited or exported. 

Sample rate is the number of samples per second. 48 kHz = sample time of 1/48000th a second

Nyquist Theorem is the selected frequency sample rate which must be at least twice as high as the highest frequency to be recorded.

Our sample rate is 40,000 because of our highest heard frequency of 20,000 Hz

The higher the frequency the higher end oscillations can be heard.

44.1 kHz is adequate enough.

Alias frequency is higher than half the sample rate, but not the original frequency. That’s because it is transposed. Similar to tape saturation.

Anti-aliasing filter is a low pass filter that deals with frequencies above 22.05 kHz

Oversampling prevents alias samples in like a chip or some shit that does it for you.

Bit depth or resolution is a finite grid.

Quantization is the rounding up or down the amplitude component of the sampling process.

We also have 24 bit or 32 bit float aside from 16 bit standard.

32 bit can be used for the lower frequencies with the gain.

Quantization error is the whooshing noise and ends quicker with more bit rate.

Quantization noise also comes with anaolgue samples.

Signal to error ratio is the stop related effects.

Dither is literal noise to shape the mix to minimize quantization error, thus white noise is let go.

Dither takes away white noise to make it more palatable.

Interleaved is two separate mono channels joined in stereo.

Bonus notes: Hence Spitfire Audio’s orchestral recordings have these quantization errors. Some samples tend to start and stop in odd places (this was the pre - Albion ONE version back when it was just called Albion I) and would either need to be manually quantized or left alone. Either way is an artistic choice in your own compostions and how you use them can dramatically increase or decrease the level of orchestral authenticity you’re trying for. 

And Spitfire being one of if not the only sample library companies that records analogue then converts into digital format for use with Kontakt 5 and now Kontakt 6 formats. This process creates an end product that, out of the box, will give you the recreation of nostalgia from older generations of film scoring. Most times it’s easier to just record digitally but, I’m very glad Spitfire Audio goes above and beyond in their sample library recordings.

Audio file types:

Uncompressed     |     lossless     |     lossy

------------------------------------------------------------ .wav                          .flac                  .mp3 .aiff                            .alac                 .ACC .BWF                         .APE                .WMA

Uncompressed leaves everything exactly the way it is

Lossless compresses but leaves most audio intact

Lossy gets compressed and file information starts to go missing

44.1 kHz - 16 bit - 1411 kbps

96 kHz - 24 bit - 4608 kbps

We dither when we record at 24 bit or on bounce at 16 bit.

DASH format

Dat format (Digital Audio Tape)

MDM (Modular Digital Multitrack) ADAT and DTRS

Hard Disk Recording records on computers, which enable random access editing as well as non destructive editing and digital signal processing. The latter being pre and post effects.

DAW (like we haven’t talked enough about this)

DAW is software designed to record, edit and playback: multi-track recording, MIDI, plug ins, VST, and controller support.

Ok I tried looking up some multi track recording tuts but none make any sense to me, maybe because I’ve been doing one track recordings for years and never needed to do multi track recordings but in case you still want to know how for example, staging a drum kit and recording different spots maybe look up   How to Record Different Inputs in Adobe Audition Multitrack View 

by Mike Russell

Midi recordings with controllers and keyboards such as

Novation Launchkey mini

Plugins for creating synths, pre and post effects such as but not limited to:

etc etc

VSTs and some of the ones I use are:

8Dio 1985 passionate piano

8Dio Hybrid Tools Vol. 4

ProjectSAM Symphobia 2

etc etc.

and controller support same as Launchkey mini, or a plain old launchpad which is just a set of buttons that activate sounds and a bunch of other cool stuff. 

The Desktop Computer has OS (Operating Software) Windows or Mac.

Audio Interface like my Steinberg UR12.

Return policies are important, my professor really wanted you all to know this.

Digital Audio Transmission AES/EBU Audio Engineering Society and European Broadcast Union.

S/PF

Sony/Phillips Digital Interface

RCA

Toslink

MADI

Multichannel Audio Digital Interface

ADAT Optical

Alesis Audio Digital Tape

Molina calls it a light pipe.

Oh my professor’s name was Molina by the way!

TDIF 

Tascam Digital Interface, using serial cables like the ones printers use.

MLAN

Music Local Area Network

SCMS

Serial Copy Management Systems

Jitter is time based waveform distortion

World Clock is a clock signal used to synchronize the sample rates of various devices. Most common in 44.1 music

Audio Driver Protocols (aka Drivers)

Latency is the buildup of delay in audio as they pass through in buffer size.

DAW Controllers gives control to the DAW.
