You can read a sound's frequency recipe. You can also explain how a computer finds that recipe. Now connect the recipe to the real world.

Frequency recipes run the audio tools you already use: EQ, headphones, microphones, noise cancelling, compression, song recognition, pitch correction, and voice tools.

The tools ahead:

  1. EQ
  2. Headphone curve
  3. Spectrogram
  4. Fingerprint
  5. Pitch line

By the end of Part 3, you will be able to:

  • Shape a sound with EQ and predict the result.
  • Read a headphone frequency-response curve.
  • Recognize a spectrogram, and where frequency thinking shows up in everyday audio.
  • Solve short sound mysteries to prove you can read a sound.

Which of these have you used before?

Where this sits in the series:

  1. 1. See the recipe
  2. 2. Find the recipe
  3. 3. Use it, and prove it
