Robot elephant.

Wow. I am a beast. (: It was fun putting textures on my elephant, but i found it hard to find textures that went well together

audio questions

1. What range of frequencies are detectable to the human ear?approximately 20Hz to 20kHz
2. Define Audio.
Sound or the reproduction of sound.

3. Audio production involves what four elements of audio?
involves the production, recording, manipulation and reproduction of sound waves4. List 10 careers in audio and list a local company for six of the career fields
· Studio Sound Engineer
· Live Sound Engineer
· Musician
· Music Producer
· DJ
· Radio technician
· Film/Television Sound Recordist
· Field Sound Engineer
· Audio Editor
· Post-Production Audio Creator

5. List three careers that need to have an understanding of audio production concepts
Engineering
Effects artist
Sound designer

6. A person rings a bell and another person hears the sound. Draw a diagram (in your composition book) of how this sound is created, transmitted, and received by a human

7. What is a waveform?
Sound waves can also be shown in a standard x vs y graph, The resulting curves are known as the "waveform"8. Is sound two dimensional or three dimensional?
3d

9. How do variations in sound pressure correlate to a waveform diagram?
High pressure- makes the air molecules be packed together densly
Low pressure- molecules of air spread more thinly

10. Illustrate (in your composition book) the difference between wavelength, amplitude, and frequency.

11. Diagram (in your composition book) in phase, 180deg out of phase, and different wave and how they interact.

12. Define transducer
A device which converts energy from one form into another. The two types of transducers we will deal with are microphones (which convert acoustical energy into electrical energy) and speakers (which convert electrical energy into acoustical energy).


13. Define amplifier
A device which takes a signal and increases it's power

14. Define signal processor
devices and software which allow the manipulation of the signal in various ways. The most common processors are tonal adjusters such as bass and treble controls.

15. Diagram (in your composition book) the 3 part model as described in the article.

What have you learned about 3D modeling?

I have learned that by just using simple shapes its easy to make something very intricate just by copying the original shapes you made. I also learned that copying many objects at once is very helpful when you are making a copy of a building.

What has been your biggest chalenge in 3D modeling?

My biggest challenge so far has been lining things up perfectly. I have had a hard time with copying objects and keeping them in line with the rest of the things i have already built.

What would you do differently if you were to do your castle model over again?

I would use more of a mixture of shapes. My castle that I made is very "boxy". I think it would look more realistic if there was a variety of shapes.

Was your research sketch helpful?

My sketch was helpful. Since I already had an outline it made it easier to know what to start off building. Next time though, my sketch is going to be more detailed. It would be a lot more helpful because I would know exactly what I would be making.

Let's see what I have learned is that I stink at doing 3d stuff. No, just kidding. I learned that the move shortcut is the greatest thing ever!!!
