Music Production Class

- Gates are used to cut frequencies below a threshold level and consist of attack, release, and hold parameters. Reduction determines how closed the gate is. - EQs filter audio signals to cut or boost frequencies and are defined by frequency, boost/cut amount, and slope or Q. - Compressors dynamically process signals above a threshold using ratio, attack, release, and makeup gain parameters with options for sidechaining. - Reverb and delay effects are created using delay time and feedback while manual delays shift duplicate signals by milliseconds. - In sound synthesis, oscillators generate waveforms, filters shape timbre, envelopes provide amplitude structure, and LFOs

Signal Chain
Gate - A dynamic processor used to cut
frequency below a threshold level
It consists of attack, release, hold

Reduction in gate is how closed the gate


is

—EQ - Its a filter on an audio signal used to cut


or boost certain frequencies in a spectrum.

• Frequency — This is the point in the frequency spectrum at


which a filter or EQ is applied. For a parametric EQ, this point
is referred to as the center frequency. For all other filters,
this is the cutoff frequency (band pass filters contain high
and low cutoff frequencies), and cutoff or "corner"
frequencies for tone controls. Cutoff frequencies begin at the
half-power point or "3 dB down" point.
• Boost/Cut — The amount of gain (boost) or reduction (cut) that
is applied at a given frequency. This applies only to
parametric and shelving filters (tone filters).
• Slope — In a high pass or low pass filter, this is the amount of
attenuation in dB per octave. Slope values are in 6 dB
increments, corresponding to the number of circuits in the
filter (two circuits) will have a 12 dB slope. Multiple filters
can be added together in series to increase the slope.
• Q — The ratio of the center frequency divided by the bandwidth.
Q stands for "quality factor."
Filters, Slope , Q

—Compressor is a dynamic processing unit


which is used to compress a signal if the signal
crosses a threshold.
-Threshold of a compressor is a level beyond
which the signals starts to compress
-Ratio- Ratio of a compressor is t
Attack - Attack of a compressor
Release
Makeup Gain - After the signal is compressed

Sidechaining

— Reverb
How to calculate reverb - Divide 60000/Tempo
= Reverb Time(m/s)
125 pre delay = Quarter note delay

Reflectivity -

—Delay

2 parameters
Delay time and Feedback(Loops the last
delayed version of original signal)
—We can also manually delay by making a
duplicate file and shifting by a few mili
seconds.

— Effects
Chorus
Flanger

— Synthesis

1) Oscillator - Sound generator( It triggers a


waveform)

-Sin Wave (No Harmonics)


Good for making bass sounds, Its has only one
fundamental frequency
We Can make dark sounds
Organ /EP sounds,

-Sawtooth Wave ( When complex sin waves


merge then sawtooth wave)
Fundamental sound + Odd/Even Harmonics
We can make string sounds, violin, trumpet
sounds,
This has odd and even harmonics to it.
In this close notes will have dissonance,

-Square Wave ( Example song - Like a G6) (also


called pulse wave cuz we can change the
width of the wave)
Same as sawtooth wave but it drops in even
harmonics
Perfect to make tuba or trumpet,
A little hollow then sawtooth

-Triangle Wave
Good for organ sounds,bellish sounds

-Noise ( All frequencies at same amplitude)


— Operator in Ableton used for synth control.

( And Combination of these forms make sound)

2) Filter- Gives timbre to a sound


Basically we can

3) ADSR or envelope - Gives structure to a


sound
Attack Decay u

4) LFO or modulation - Gives movement in


sound

5) Amp - Amplifies a sound.
