Sound

The first project for this class was to create a sound work using audio filters and plugins using a small recorded sample of a sine wave at any frequency. The sound file below is the initial sound wave that i began experimenting with in soundtrack pro.

Before i began proceeding further with this project my first initial steps involved researching the principals behind a Sine Wave and how it worked. if you were able to look at a Sine Wave with your eyes it would look like the image below.

The sine wave or what is also referred to as a sinusoid is a mathematical function that describes a smooth repetitive oscillation. It occurs often in pure mathematics, as well as physics, signal processing, electrical engineering and many other fields.

Further information explaining the mathematical equations behind a Sine Wave can be found here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sine_wave

As well as Sine Waves there are other types of waveforms, Square, Triangle and Sawtooth which can be seen in the diagram below.
