Understand the methods and principles of sound design and production
Different sound types (sound file formats):
uncompressed - A uncompressed file is still the original sound without it being modified and keeping it the same. This lowers how well the sound will play and how big the file is.
lossy compressed - This type of compression reduces file size for web browsers and other online resources. The file types that fit under this are: mp3, ra, and vox.
How can resolution and bit-depth constrain file size?
A file can be constrained by resolution because if the file size is larger than computer that it is using then the picture the picture will have a worse quality. The bit depth can be limited by an old PC or old dvd player.
Different types of sound:
Sample rate - is a different sounds of different frequencies. It is normally a high pitched sound however.
Mono - Mono sound is sound from a single channel. These channels can be replicated to by wearing a single headphone.
Stereo - Stereo is a pair of bog-standard headphones that use both ear phones. A normal pair of headphones can simulate these sounds.
Surround - Surround sound is a type of sound where the sounds are projected all around you making it feel like there are people in the room etc.
Each of these different pc parts and software can limit the ability of the sound:
DSP – Digital Signal Processor
RAM – Random Access Memory
File format (eg Mp3, Wav, Aiff)
Audio output (eg Mono, Stereo, Surround).
PCM – Pulse Code Modulation
Using different recording software can lead to different results as a professional will have much higher quality while a free program would give you less results and the paid stuff would be much higher quality.
