Question
Answer
show There is a spring like reaction that pushes molecules apart (electrical charges repel when molecules are pushed too close). This repeating pattern of compression and rarefactions creates energy wave..  
🗑
Wave Motion   show
🗑
show energy putting air particles in motion. The particles push on their neighbors, and so on, creating a repeating pattern of compressions and rarefactions  
🗑
During sound wave motion, high and low pressure areas...   show
🗑
show the speed of sound. 1130 ft/second. at sea level at 70 degrees F with dry air.  
🗑
What changes the speed of sound?   show
🗑
What factors are taken into account in large PA systems at stadiums and festival concerts?   show
🗑
Sound travels faster in what materials?   show
🗑
show It results in a pitch change of one octave.  
🗑
Octave shifts are independent of...   show
🗑
show About 10 octaves (20-20,000 Hz)  
🗑
show Distance between compression peaks or rarefaction valleys. Measured between any two points of equal pressure. Represents one wave cycle.  
🗑
Waveform graph   show
🗑
What should engineers and mixers know about octaves?   show
🗑
show POWER. Isn't heard very often in record music, as most people don't have equipment to record it well. Generates excitement in crowd at concerts. Felt as much as heard because it takes a great deal of energy to produce.  
🗑
What is the octave 40-80 Hz used for in recorded music?   show
🗑
show RHYTHM. Most fundamental rhythm frequencies (drums, bass, stomping, etc.). Around 100 Hz, if too much energy, music can sound boomy.  
🗑
What is the octave 160-320 Hz used for in recorded music?   show
🗑
What is the octave 320-640 Hz used for in recorded music?   show
🗑
What is the octave 640-1280 Hz used for in recorded music?   show
🗑
What is the octave 1280-2560 Hz used for in recorded music?   show
🗑
show SIBILANCE and INTELLIGIBILITY. Critical for understanding speech and lyrics.  
🗑
show PRESENCE and BRIGHTNESS. Important in giving sound its presence. Without it, sounds will sound distant and dull.  
🗑
show SPARKLE. Icing on the cake. Many don't notice it missing, but it can add life and clarity to music.  
🗑
show Speech sounds like "sss" or "thhh" or "k" that have hissing  
🗑
Doppler Effect or Doppler Shift   show
🗑
show Sound travels so slow relative to the speed of light.  
🗑
show The pitch is higher when the object is near you and the frequency is higher. It will be lower when it is further away.  
🗑
show At 20 Hz, most consumer speakers make a sound, but they just double, and you actually hear a sound at 40 Hz.  
🗑
show At 20,000 Hz, most consumer speakers can't move quickly enough. At 20 Hz, they double.  
🗑
show 80-100 Hz to 10 KHz.  
🗑
show Decibel  
🗑
show Decibel is a tenth of a Bel, a unit developed by Alexander Graham Bel's telephone company for measuring voltage losses over miles of wire.  
🗑
Why do we need decibels?   show
🗑
show the way we perceive sound is not linear, and neither is the decibel scale.  
🗑
show They are ratios of a measurement to a standard reference. Different letters follow dB to show what the reference is - dBu, Dbm, dB SPL, dBFS, etc.  
🗑
Why can dB values be positive or negative?   show
🗑
show decibels Sound Pressure Level. Used because we're discussing loudness and what we hear.  
🗑
What is the reference value for dB SPL?   show
🗑
Why are dB SPL measurements usually positive?   show
🗑
show 60-65 dB SPL  
🗑
How does 70 dB compare to 60 dB?   show
🗑
How is amplitude determined?   show
🗑
