sweetness.
i hate ableton but i will conquer itttttt THATS RIGHT.
i'm sorry i dont want to say that i wish i could say i love it so much. but honestly it scares me a lot so i procrastinate but i always end up doing it but i just make myself miserable the whole time up until the last second thinking about it...then once i am on i get so confused..then finally i figure it out and just want to be done with it. i wish i was amazing and understood it.

well i figure i better look up some of those vocab words. I researched sampling rate for dummies..it didn't really work out. so i just started looking at websites and this somewhat maybe helped me understand a little.

Sampling Rate:
The sampling rate is the number of samples of data taken in one second for each channel of audio being recorded. CDs are recorded at 44,100 samples per second.

The image below is a 1000hz signal recorded at 8000 samples per second. The bright green dots are the points where the data was taken. you can count them and see that there 8 samples per cycle. Multiply that by 1000 cycles per second and you get the 8000 samples/sec. The rate at which it was recorded. This is 0.0045 seconds of audio.

The image below is a 1000hz signal recorded at 44,100 samples per second. The bright green dots are the points where the data was taken. You can't count these very easily. This is also 0.0045 seconds of audio. You can easily see that there is much more data in this recording.

Explore NORMALIZATION to -6db as we discussed in class 5.) make a cut, chop something and re-arrange it with audacity 6.) try phasing things **remember my examples about out of phase! Also please go and explore and DOWNLOAD an .mp3 from UBUWEB and convert it to a .wav or .aiff with ITUNES. Try to weave these things

Presentation Discussion

By Matt -
I figured we'd want to start a discussion for when to do our presentations. I figured we could start Friday during normal class hours and then finish up around 2. I think everyone should all respond in the comments with our thoughts. Remember if you don't use your voice you have no right to complain about the schedule after it's made.
