Equalization and Compression in Classical Music. Dynamic Range, Reverb, Volume Level

Image
Equalization and compression can be useful when processing classical music, but they should be used with caution to preserve the dynamic range and subtleties of sound that are characteristic of this genre. Equalization allows you to adjust the level of sound of specific frequencies. This can be useful for removing "junk" frequencies and emphasizing the necessary ones. Compression is used to align the dynamics of the signal by lowering the volume at its peak values. However, too strong compression can lead to a loss of dynamic range, which is undesirable in classical music. It is important to remember that each type of music requires its own settings and specifications, so it is always worth experimenting and listening to the results on different equipment to achieve the best sound. Dynamic range in music describes the difference in volume level between the loudest and quietest sound in an audio file. This characteristic is measured in decibels (dB). Songs with a wide dynamic

What is Electronic Music in Broad and Narrow Terms? Computer Music

Image
In a broad sense, electronic music is music created using electronic musical instruments or electronic/digital technologies, including computer technologies . It may include the use of synthesizers, computer programs, samplers, electronic drums, and other electronic or digital instruments. In a narrower sense, electronic music is often associated with certain genres of music , such as Electronic Dance Music (EDM), techno, house, drum-n-bass, ambient, and other styles that are mainly or entirely created using electronic means. However, it should be noted that these definitions can vary depending on the context and personal perception. Some may consider electronic music to be only that music which is created exclusively using electronic instruments, while others may include in this concept music created using electronic instruments in combination with traditional ones. Electronic music is closely related to digital music technologies , with the development of which in musical creativit

Making Classical Music Using Digital Music Technologies

Image
This blog is not a guide on how to compose classical music using compositional skills and talents, as it has a slightly different goal - a brief introduction to the main tools of digital music technologies for implementing various types of creative projects. Please do not confuse the term ' digital music technologies ' with the process of creating music by artificial intelligence (AI). Yes, artificial intelligence can read and play the scores of various famous compositions, participate in the creation of classical music, and also analyze ready-made works, based on which to create tracks in the same genre. However, despite this, it is not capable of creative thinking and intuition, which are key elements of human creativity, as a result of which the output usually turns out to be quite flat and superficial musical works. Music created by AI does not have the same emotional depth or originality as music created by a human. The talk is about the use of musical technologies as a
