The latest results from audio masterclass are in :) Technical quality These technical notes apply to all of your practical assignment work. If you are in doubt on any points, you are recommended to look back at the practical assignment notes for Module 1, and your assessment for Module 1. Your grading for technical quality will take into account all of the following... Your recording should be of correct level and be topped and tailed neatly. Background noise from both acoustic and electronic sources should be hardly perceptible. The ambience should preferably be quite dry, unless it was part of the assignment to record ambience or reverberation. There should be minimal popping from microphones and no blasting. There should be no noticeable faults in the sound achieved from microphones. There should be no perceptible distortion unless warmth has been used deliberately, or unless the assignment calls for experimentation in this regard. Your grade: 5 Correct fulfillment of the assignment brief The project brief calls for you to make eight re-equalized versions of the supplied examples, each of which sounds as close as possible to the original unEQed version. Each of your versions should be around ten seconds long, starting from the beginning of the track, with neat fades at the ends. All of your versions should be compiled, in order, into a single file. PLEASE NOTE that this is a difficult project and if your grade is not a full 5/5 this does not necessarily mean that you have performed poorly, just that you need to gain more experience in EQ. Your grade: 5 Example 1 (Low-Frequency cut) This example uses low-frequency cut. Your re-equalized version should be subjectively similar to the original unequalized track. The settings used to make this version were -12 dB at 100 Hz. Your grade: 5 Example 2 (High-Frequency cut) This example uses high-frequency cut. Your re-equalized version should be subjectively similar to the original unequalized track. The settings used to make this version were -12 dB at 6 kHz. Your grade: 5 Example 3 (Mid-Frequency cut) This example uses mid-frequency cut. Your re-equalized version should be subjectively similar to the original unequalized track. The settings used to make this version were -12 dB at 1000 Hz with a Q of 1. Your grade: 5 Example 4 (Low-Frequency boost) This example uses low-frequency boost. Your re-equalized version should be subjectively similar to the original unequalized track. The settings used to make this version were +9 dB at 200 Hz. Your grade: 5 Example 5 (High-Frequency boost) This example uses high-frequency boost. Your re-equalized version should be subjectively similar to the original unequalized track. The settings used to make this version were +12 dB at 6 kHz. Your grade: 5 Example 6 (Mid-Frequency boost) This example uses mid-frequency boost. Your re-equalized version should be subjectively similar to the original unequalized track. The settings used to make this version were +12 dB at 2 kHz with a Q of 1. Your grade: 5 Example 7 (High-Pass Filter) This example uses a high-pass filter. Your re-equalized version should be subjectively similar to the original unequalized track. The settings used to make this version were 200 Hz with a slope of 18 dB/octave. Note that since the filter removes some frequencies almost completely, the object is to get a result that is subjectively as similar to the original as possible. This may involve boosting frequency ranges outside of the stop band of the filter. Your grade: 5 Example 8 (Low-Pass Filter) This example uses a low-pass filter. Your re-equalized version should be subjectively similar to the original unequalized track. The settings used to make this version were 4 kHz with a slope of 12 dB/octave. Note that since the filter removes some frequencies almost completely, the object is to get a result that is subjectively as similar to the original as possible. This may involve boosting frequency ranges outside of the stop band of the filter. Your grade: 5 These are all excellent examples that would completely fulfill all normal professional expectations. Well done, this is a difficult assignment. The first filter example is the most difficult but you have come as close as it is reasonably possible to get. Your overall grade for this module: 5 (Grade 3 represents a basic professional standard. Grade 5 represents First Call status.) This is work of an excellent standard. We have enjoyed listening to what you have created and we look forward to hearing your further submissions. Audio Masterclass Assessments
