Electrical Acoustic Principles

Although it may seem like a simple process, audio recording is extremely complex and requires in-depth knowledge of sound waves, audio mixing, equipment placement, electrical current flow, and acoustic technology to ensure that you get the perfect sound. To move forward with a successful recording project or set up your own studio, you will have to learn performance techniques and acoustics related specifically to recording within certain spaces. In addition, you must have an in-depth understanding of the technical aspects of electrical transmission of audio signals and the ways that they can be manipulated to produce the sound you want. You can find both analog and digital systems on the market with varying degrees of complexity, and different systems work well for different types of recording.
