Topic: Sound Affects


  
  Sound effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sound effects or audio effects are artificially created or enhanced sounds, or sound processes used to emphasize artistic or other content of movies, video games, music, or other media.
The best sound effects originate from original sources; the best sounds of machine-gun fire are original recordings of actual machine guns, as opposed to a synthesized or sampled and sequenced effect of a machine gun.
For example, the sound of a bullet impact into a pig (from the above example) may be mixed with the sound of a melon being gouged to add to the "stickiness" or "gore" of the effect.

 Sound Affects - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Pretty Green" is perhaps the apotheosis of the Michael Jackson and Beatles fusion, melding a throbbing funk bassline and rhythm with melodic guitar breaks and psychedelic sound effects.

 Speed of Sound
Because the speed of transmission depends on molecular collisions, the speed of sound depends on the state of the gas.
The speed of sound is a constant within a given gas and the value of the constant depends on the type of gas (air, pure oxygen, carbon dioxide, etc.) and the temperature of the gas.
An analysis based on conservation of mass and momentum shows that the speed of sound a is equal to the square root of the ratio of specific heats g times the gas constant R times the temperature T.

 How to determine if a sound affects a marine animal: Animals and Sound in the Sea

Russolo, often dubbed the first sound artist, envisioned a future in which conventional melodies would become obsolete, giving way to the noise of everyday life -- the subtle music of our increasingly industrialized world.
Countless artists have experimented with sound over the past century, creating a rich and tenacious genre that encompasses a broad spectrum of recorded work -- from raw silence to earsplitting sine waves, symphonies of dot-matrix printers to orchestras of crickets.
Museums and galleries geared toward visual arts are squeamish about subjecting the paintings and sculptures on display to layers of sound, and these spaces rarely afford the silence and focused attention required of such works.

 Penny Arcade - David Chan (Bioware)
Sounds can’t be made because no one knows what a level is going to look like yet.
The person wanting a change in a sound will continue to give vague feedback to the designer until the designer, by fluke, makes the exact sound desired or a kind of uneasy détente is reached.
In that spirit he renamed the first sound that he sent and it was accepted as the final sound.

You don't actually hear the sound, but it creates a response in, the RAS (reticular activating system) of the brain, because when anything new comes in the RAS is alerted and that creates a physiological response.

 SALON: Music: Never mind the Sex Pistols...here's the Jam
Their leader, Paul Weller, was a studio purist early on; he insisted on recording all the basic tracks direct-to-tape, and as a result, their first outing tends to sound small and hurried.
But as good as "Setting Sons" is, it broke the continuum between their earlier Swinging London '64 sound and the paisleys-and-shades pre-psychedelic trip of "Sound Affects" (1980).
There are better albums than these two, but not so very many, and when the trumpets sound on that last day, we'll all be getting extra points in the ledger for having had the deluxe audiophile edition.

 Flash MX Sound Object Tutorial by Kenny Bellew

If you are going to use it with streaming sounds, you should buffer then sound at least partially before it starts playing.

 Sound Affects
It is difficult for us, because we live on land and rely more on our eyes than our ears, to comprehend the profound importance of sound to whales and dolphins.
These intelligent animals use sound to communicate with one another, to maintain their social group, to understand their environment, to navigate, to hunt and stun prey.
The effects of loud, man-made noise under water can range from masking the noises made by the animals themselves so they are no longer able to communicate with one another, through to frightening or chasing animals away from important habitat and, in the worst cases, loud noise can even kill.

What makes these sounds so readily identifiable is that each drum vibrates at characteristic frequencies, depending mainly on the size, shape, tension, and composition of its sound-generating drumhead.
Simplified and idealized to its mathematical essence, a drum is a flat, two-dimensional surface held fixed along its rim.

But no sound affects like you heard on a few songs from Pop and Zooropa-like for instance what you heard on the song "Zooropa" all the talking and on a few songs from Pop there was talking in the back-things like that.
Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois are the producers of The Joshua Tree and of the new album-that doesnt mean its going to sound like The Joshua Tree, and the "4 guys in the room playing"is just the same as Achtung Baby, The Joshua Tree, Rattle And Hum and every other album besides Zooropa and Pop.
