I have to cancel class tomorrow due to illness. There will be an online assignment, which I will post here by 10 a.m. tomorrow morning. Please email me if you have questions. Best, Professor Wagler

My group recorded a conversation directly under an air vent. I imported the audio into pro-tools and used plug-ins like gate, expander,a compressor and an equalizer. The original frequency of my sound was about 1200Hz. I tried compressing the recording to minimize the sound floor. I then put a gate on the recording so it […]

Due on the blog at 2:00 pm on 3/25 20 points Play around with EQ and other effects to create distorted sounds and alternate realities! 1. Turn this sound of a baby ————-> into an alien monster baby. 2. Make this simple song ——-> sound likes it’s an old recording or coming out of an old […]

My group and I recorded my voice with an irritating background noise from a ceiling fan. The frequency I chose for the fan was 1.96 HZ. I played with EQ to find the best range where I heard the my voice clearly with the lowest sound of background noise. It sounded a little better than […]

For week 7 we learned about frequency and how we can minimize background noise in our recordings. For our assignment we had to go into groups and conduct an interview with a loud background noise. Rosmady, Shakelia and I decided to use an air vent as our background noise. We basically had to record ourselves […]

For my group, we did a recording down the hall of Ashley speaking over a fan sound in the background. When it came time to edit the frequency, ProTools was not agreeing with me. And so I transferred the files to another Mac and it worked! The best frequency of the background is  at 1.24 kHz […]

In this assignment we were supposed to record an interview with a background sound. My partner Kevin Aponte and I decided to use the maker space room because it had a 3D printer in there making a soap dish which I thought was interesting. We recorded the interview with the 3D sound in the background, […]

My classmate interviewed me in a noisy background. We were suppose to isolate the backgrounds frequency, and catch my voice. The background noise was of a  air circulated vent, and I managed to lower down the frequency of the vent to get a better sound of my voice. the frequency of the air vent was […]

The place that my group chose to record is by an air conditioning vent. The way that i tried to minimize the sound was finding the frequency and toning the volume of it down. It was difficult because the ac had many different frequency so it was hard to find the way pint were its […]

While recording, the background noise which appears to be a fan was very present in the piece. When isolating this frequency, I found that the highest peak with the fan was at 2.6 kilohertz. I was able to minimize the fan and while you can still hear the fan, it isn’t as noisy as the […]

For this assignment we’re basically learning how to minimize background noise. The background sound I was a fan in the hallway. After playing around with the EQ tools I believe I found a reasonable frequency that minimizes the fan noise but doesn’t mess up the actually voice. The frequency I chose was 2.99 kHz. The […]

For this assignment, we were tasked with recording a conversation while a distinct noise went off in the background. Desmond and I decided to record a conversation between Kunal and I by the 3D printer which was printing something at the time. We were then challenged with isolating the background noise and attempting to mute […]

In the recording that my group did, the source of the background sound was an air condition right above us. I couldn’t pin down the frequency of the air conditioner because it hit so many different notes that I couldn’t isolate it. To minimize it I tried to raise and lower the volume of various […]

Due: October 9, 2014 , 11:30 a.m. Pick a location that has a pronounced background sound and record a minute of a person talking. In Pro Tools use the EQ tools to isolate the frequency of the background sound and try to minimize it. Make a blog post in which you reflect on this process. Answer […]
