Lesson 3

On Friday, December 21, 2012, I went to the studio for another session for my lesson 3. We went over a lot of information as this lesson was a little more difficult in terms of understanding different terms and definitions throughout the lesson. We went over the quiz and discussed each answer in order that I could understand everything that was being asked. The Nyquist theory was one that we went over because I wasn’t sure of it before I went to the studio. We also discussed the term Quantization as I had another understanding of what that term meant because what it said in the textbook was something totally different, so we went over the differences in what I believed it to be and what the textbook explained it to be in regards to the recording process. The last term was Dither and in which stage that process was done during the recording. He also explained the binary number system and how many bits were in a bite, therefore explaining what 16 bits, and 24 bits meant. In relation to the Digital Audio Technology section in the Modern Recording Techniques textbook, he has a TAS CAM DA-30 and a TAS CAM DA-88 modular digital multitrack recorder. This session helped me to better understand the information in this lesson in regards to the recording process.
