Sound Effects
EQ Extenuate frequencies
Boosts and Cuts Volume and dynamics (e.g. wah wah frequencies)
Volume change masking Use effects to hide what dou dont want (e.g. string
noise, breathing, drum peddle squeaking)
More faults with live recordings as there is less control
Noise gate: Everything above a certain volume, it lets the sound through
Anything below a certain volume wont be heard

Musical Faults
A musical fault involves a problem that lies with the musician or a mistake
linked with an instrument or equipment that the player has adjusted or fixed
themselves
This can be done from a drummer playing out of time, to a guitarist recording
a part without tuning the guitar beforehand
Sonic Faults
A sonic fault is linked with the production and mastering side when it comes
to recording a song
Whereas the musicians are the people to blame when it comes to musical
faults, a sonic fault is to do with the technology side of the recording
Surface Types
Tricky as sound waves travel frequently, they eventually hit obstacles
A percentage of sound is reflected and the rest is absorbed and passes
through whatever the material is
An echo or reproduction of the sound can be heard if it is designed for the
sound to be captured and absorbed
Reverberation
The perseverance of sound in a particular area or space a period after the
original sound has been produced
Reverberation is caused by sound being produced in abound space or area
resulting to a large number of echoes to compile p and then slowly decease
due to the walls or air absorbing the sound
Sound Proofing
Increasing the distance between source and receiver
Using noise barriers to reflect or absorb the energy of the sound waves
Studio Based Acoustics
Recording within a controlled environment that been built and designed
correctly is likely to produce sound that is more accurate, without using too
may special effects or devices to enhance the recordings quality
When putting together the sound for our film it is important to take these
things into consideration as it will affect the outcome of the final product. For
example,
taking surface types into account depending on the
surroundings as some surfaces absorb sound while others reflect it. By taking
things like this into account this will make the short film more successful.
