2/6 I SR I SR SR The Psychoacoustics of Sound Recording Definition of the Field Institute of Sound Recording the sound rec/repro chain the ‘cognitive ladder’ emotion studio / concert hall microphone preference process / mix / master eg. envelopment render mapping listening room modelling eg. pitch & loudness exploitation ? sensation stimulus
3/6 I SR I SR SR The Psychoacoustics of Sound Recording Why bother? Institute of Sound Recording • electrical characteristics • physical parameters shift • timbral & spatial perceptual attributes • mapping recommendations Æ outcomes • modelling measurements Æ • exploitation processing algorithms Æ • recording/mix/mastering engineers • room, equipment & software designers users • psycho/physio/neuro-logists
4/6 I SR I SR SR The Psychoacoustics of Sound Recording How do we do it? Institute of Sound Recording • classical psychophysical techniques listening test • verbal/graphical elicitation of higher attributes • reproduced sound concert hall acoustics vs definitions • spatial audio paradigm • universal timbral descriptors • expert naïve listeners vs training • spatial & timbral ear training • impulse signal / natural synthetic vs vs stimuli • unequivocal unidimensional variation
5/6 I SR I SR SR The Psychoacoustics of Sound Recording Where are we at? Institute of Sound Recording perceptually meaningful measurements studio / concert hall array techniques & spot mics microphone spatial processors & displays process / mix / master b/w requirements & up-mix algorithms render listening room spatial properties & simulators
