Q & A

What is the main focus of the 23rd episode of the sound design course presented by Olbaid?

The main focus of the 23rd episode is to discuss minor sound categories that are more specific and not as large as categories like solo bass.

What is the term used to describe sounds with a filter that has an LFO placed on it, and how do they sound?

The term used is 'google', and these sounds typically have a bubbly characteristic due to the filter modulation by the LFO.

What is the definition of a drone sound in the context of sound design?

A drone sound is a single note or chord that is sustained for a long time, often providing a background for other melodies or harmonies.

How does a drone sound differ from a pad or atmospheric sound?

A drone sound is completely sustained and does not vary, unlike a pad or atmospheric sound which may have more variation and tonal elements.

What is the term 'llama soul' in English, and how does it relate to sound modulation?

In English, 'llama soul' translates to 'growl', and it refers to sounds that have a modulation effect, similar to an animal growling, which involves an opening and closing modulation.

What are the two specific sound characteristics discussed in the script, and how do they affect the sound?

The two specific sound characteristics are vibrato and tremolo. Vibrato affects the pitch by applying an LFO, while tremolo affects the volume with oscillation.

How does the vibrato effect differ from the tremolo effect in terms of sound manipulation?

Vibrato manipulates the pitch by applying an LFO to it, creating a subtle frequency modulation. Tremolo, on the other hand, maintains the same frequency but varies the amplitude, creating a volume modulation effect.

What is the next step after discussing the types of sounds in the sound design course?

The next step is to learn about different sound synthesis techniques, which will be divided into theoretical and practical parts, covering how sounds are generated and how to create different sound classifications.

What are some of the sound synthesis techniques that will be covered in the course?

Some of the sound synthesis techniques to be covered include amp ar, re sampled, additive synthesis, active schuster, and FM.

🎵 Sound Design Course: Minor Sound Types

In this segment of the sound design course, Olbaid introduces the audience to less common yet specific sound types. He discusses the 'google' sound, characterized by a down-step filter with an LFO, which gives it a bubbly quality. Examples are provided to illustrate the sound's application. The paragraph also covers 'drone' sounds, which are sustained notes or chords that accompany melodies or harmonies, serving a similar function to pads or atmospheric elements but with a continuous, unchanging tone. Different types of drones are explored, such as metallic and low-frequency drones. Additionally, 'growl' sounds are introduced, which involve modulation that creates an opening and closing effect, distinct from the continuous nature of drones.

🎼 Advanced Sound Characteristics: Vibrato and Tremolo

This paragraph delves into the characteristics of vibrato and tremolo in sound design. Vibrato is described as the application of a low-frequency oscillator to the pitch of a tone, creating a subtle variation similar to a walk but affecting pitch instead of filter. Tremolo, on the other hand, maintains the same frequency but varies the amplitude, resulting in volume oscillations. The summary also mentions the conclusion of the sound types section and the transition into sound synthesis techniques, which will be explored in subsequent parts of the course. The theoretical aspects of these techniques will be covered first, followed by practical applications to generate sounds within the categories previously discussed.

Keywords

💡Sound Design

Sound design is the process of creating and manipulating sound elements to enhance the auditory experience of a production, often in film, television, or games. In the context of this video, it refers to the art of creating and modifying sounds for a specific purpose, such as adding a unique auditory layer to a piece of music or a sound effect for a visual scene. The video is part of a course that discusses various aspects of sound design, including the creation of different sound types.

💡Google

In the script, 'Google' seems to refer to a specific type of sound characterized by a filter, typically a down-step filter with an LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) applied to it, creating a bubbly effect. This term is likely a colloquialism or a specific effect name used within the sound design community. The video uses 'Google' to illustrate a sound that can be applied to various contexts, emphasizing its versatility in sound design.

💡Drones

Drones in sound design are sustained notes or chords that are played continuously in the background while other melodies or harmonies are performed over them. They serve to create a consistent tonal foundation and atmosphere. The script mentions drones as a type of sound that can be subjective and can be transformed from a soloist sound by holding a single note or chord throughout the composition.

💡Soloist

A soloist sound is one that stands out on its own, often with a distinct melody and a fast attack. In the video, the term is used to differentiate from a drone, where a soloist sound can be transformed into a drone by sustaining a note throughout a melody. The script provides examples of how a soloist sound can be adapted into a drone sound.

💡Growl

In the context of the video, 'growl' refers to a type of sound that mimics the modulation of an animal's growling by opening and closing a bell, and then modulating the sound to create an effect that opens and closes. This term is used to describe a specific characteristic of sounds that have modulation, such as filter cutoff or harmonics, resulting in a sound that 'opens and closes' dynamically.

💡Modulation

Modulation in sound design involves varying a parameter of a sound, such as the filter cutoff or the pitch, to create a dynamic effect. The script discusses modulation in the context of creating growl sounds, where different aspects of the sound can be modulated to achieve a specific character or effect.

💡Vibrato

Vibrato is a musical effect where the pitch of a note is varied periodically to create a slight undulation. In sound design, vibrato can be achieved by applying a low-frequency oscillator to the pitch of a tone, as mentioned in the script. It adds expressiveness and depth to the sound, and is often used subtly to enhance the tonal quality.

💡Tremolo

Tremolo is the variation in volume of a sound, often created by modulating the amplitude of the sound wave. The script explains tremolo as a sound characteristic where the frequency remains constant, but the amplitude oscillates up and down, creating a dynamic effect in volume.

💡Sound Synthesis Techniques

Sound synthesis techniques are methods used to create or generate new sounds from basic sonic elements. The script mentions several techniques such as amp ar, re sampled, additive synthesis, active schuster, and FM, which are all methods for generating sound. The video promises to cover these techniques in both theory and practice, demonstrating how to create the various sound types discussed.

💡Sound Classification

Sound classification in the context of this video refers to categorizing different types of sounds based on their characteristics and uses. The script indicates that the video will cover the classification of sounds that have been discussed, which is essential for understanding and applying sound design techniques effectively.

Transcripts

what's up how are you welcome to this video I'm Olbaid and it's episode number 23 of

our sound design course we've already seen almost all the sounds we need this

last video where I'm going to talk about some sounds that are minor that is to say not anymore They are

from such large categories, not like solo bass, for example, but they are some

much more specific things. Well, let's see them. The first is something that is known as google, it is written

like that, they are seeing on the screen and basically they are those sounds that

have a filter is normally a down-step filter and that this filter has

an lf placed on it or it sounds normally as well as bubbly here we have another example

[Music] so as you can see the only characteristic to be called can be applied to different

sounds how google

is that it must have a filter placed and that its filter has and

example she is taking google from her and she owns it, it is not simply that feature

bur bujeante the next type of sound is known as drones or drone this type

of sound is still somewhat subjective normally the rolls are a single note or a

chord that is being made well maintained for a long time while the above is

being executed some other melody or some other harmony, for example, I have this sound.

Well, how do you hear it? Basically, it could

work as a soloist. In fact, I'm going to press play,

so it has all the characteristics of a soloist. It has a melody. The attack

is fast and well, but yes. I take this same sound and I accompany it with a

sustained note throughout the entire melody to this sound or to this note

that is being sustained is what is known as drone is to be down here

if you realize in a certain way it is being more or less the same function of the pad or of the environment

that is tonal is maintaining a single note that if it is differentiable in fact if I grab and

silence the other notes we can see see what is something sustained and that since the background is

accompanying the melody we could say that it is a payment an atmosphere but hey the difference

is that it is something completely sustained it will not be varying and there are different types of

drone in this case what I made from a solo sound here is this other one

it doesn't sound more metallic a little mysterious [Music]

this one also just that it's more serious it's a drone with low frequencies

this one sounds more metallic

and this again has a lot of low frequencies so like It is done in brawn, because

you can simply start from a soloist or from a peace-type sound and at the moment you are

composing it must hold a single note or a chord

. llama soul, which if we are translating it from

English is something like a growl, what happens when an animal growls, which is like how strange it is

to say, it's raising the bell and then it goes back to go down and that is more or less what happens with

this type of sounds that have something that is modulated and by things I mean that it could

be the cutoff of a filter it could be the modulation of some other control such as something that stops

the harmonics can't be different things but basically at the end of the day

it's going to give us that a sound that opens and closes just once unlike google ah ah

so this is a type of oak

this could be another type of role and this third also

and there are many ways to do it as I say you can modulate different things in unison the

harmonic filter etc. while that is obtained the character that opens and closes then

that is the problem and two more that are not exactly a type of sound but more Well,

a specific characteristic of the sound is the vibrato and the tremolo. The vibrato is nothing

more than taking the tone and applying the low frequency oscillator to it, something similar

to the walk, only instead of accessing the filter this time is the vibrato sorry for the tone to the pitch

only that it is usually more or less discreet something like that and we can see it here in the analysis

the frequency is moving and the amplitude is maintained and the tremolo is going to stay at

the same frequency but now the amplitude is going to be moving up and down

so those are the tremolo sounds they can be any type of sound but for them to have

these characteristics the tremolo must oscillate in volume and the vibrato must oscillate in pitch

And well, basically with this we would finish the section on types of sounds, we have already seen practically

all of them in which more than ninety-something percent of the sounds that

you can hear anywhere can be classified, and with this we are going to start now with what

everyone was waiting we're going to learn about the different sound synthesis techniques

so we can start creating all these sound classifications that we've already seen

let's see then how is amp ar as re sampled additive synthesis active schuster fm

what table we are going to see all that and each one will be divided into two parts the theoretical part

where we are going to know how sound is generated not each one of these techniques and the second

part will to be the practice where we are going to be generating different sounds that belong

to all these categories that we have just seen, so this is going to be very good, do not miss it,
