condenser, dynamic, ribbon
1 of 27
what is a transducer?
turns one energy into another. for mics: sound to electronic
2 of 27
whats do all mics have? what happens to it when sound hits it?
diaphram, it vibrates
3 of 27
what are the characteristics of dynamic mics?
cheap, strong, can handle loud levels of sound, slow reacting because its heavy duty, slow reacting to high frequencies.
4 of 27
what are the characteristics of condenser mic's?
2 diaphrams charged with energy, needs charging, delicate, flat frequency, pick up sounds evenly, good for high frequencies, quick reacting, expensive.
5 of 27
characteristics of ribbon mic's?
think diaphragm, very fragile, dont like loud stuff, expensive. need no external power, aluminium diaphram, flat frequency, weak output.
6 of 27
omnipattern?
picks up sound from all areas, good for loud orchestras and chat shows.
7 of 27
bidirectional?
picks up sound from front and back not sides. good for duets.
8 of 27
unidirectional?
one direction, only front
9 of 27
cardioid?
more from front
10 of 27
hypercardioid?
more from sides
11 of 27
supercardoid?
more from back
12 of 27
what can diaphrams be made from? where does it live in mic?
metals or paper, head of mic

describe controller lane 1
Able to change velocity to other things in velocity pull down menu at bottom of screen. Controller set up menu allows you to chose from a list of controllers and add it to velocity pull down menu.Modulation wheel is like mountains on track.

Is a technical standard that describes a protocol, digital interface and connectors and allows a wide variety of electronic musical instruments, computers and other related devices to connect and communicate with one another.

describe midi 3
carries event messages that specify notation, pitch and velocity, control signals for parameters such as volume, vibrato, audio panning, cues, and clock signals that set and synchronize tempo between multiple devices

describe midi 4
This data can also be recorded into a hardware or software device called a sequencer, which can be used to edit the data and to play it back at a later time • . These messages are sent to other devices where they control sound generation and other f

how does midi work 2
The standard allowed different instruments to speak with each other and with computers, and this spurred a rapid expansion of the sales and production of electronic instruments and music software. This intercompatibility allowed one device to be cont

how to choose a microphone?
Directionality – omni (all directions), uni (1 direction), bi (two directions). • Frequency response • Impedance – LOW • Noise • Sensitivity • Over load characteristics

describe frequency response?
Refers to the way mic responds to different frequencies – the sounds we hear. (20-20000 hz) • Frequency response refers to the way a microphone responds to different frequencies. It is a characteristic of all microphones that some frequencies are ex
