11/12/2025 - Sound pt.3

 In class, we watched more videos on sound (post-production sound). What I learned:

- Sound is measured in amplitude (RMS)

- Higher frequency = higher pitch

- Phasing - point where sound begins 

- Harmonics - sound waves that occur in larger sounds 

- Envelope - shape the sounds over time 

- Equalizer -  boosts amplitude of selected frequencies, like high self, low shelf, high pass, and low pass

- Band pass filter - allows for sounds with a specific frequency range to pass through while reducing sounds with frequencies outside of the range 

- Notch cut filter - a specialized equalizer to re move unwanted sounds 

- Dynamic range - the difference between the loudest and softest sounds 

- Multi-band compressor - a tool that splits and audio into separate range frequencies 

- Limiter - how loud a sound can be 

- Expander - a noise gate that reduces level of the quietest sounds 

- FFT - removes unwanted sounds 

- Supervising sound editor - works in sound department, on budget, and schedule, is hands on, works with sound designer 

- Spotting session - when the director, supervising sound editor, and the sound designer work together to decide what happens when and how

- Sound effects - sometimes use pre-recorder sound if applicable

- Sound effect recordist - make custom sounds if needed 

- Spot, cut, and hard sounds are the obvious sounds on screen 

- ADR - a mixer, recreates dialogue originally recorded on set

- Score - created by composer specifically for the movie by working with the director and editor

- Music editor - helps composer with cleaning sounds 

- Sound mixing - makes all the sounds, sound good and clean
