DESC9115 2014 LAB REPORT 2: SOUND HYBRIDIZATION Digital Audio Systems
Rachel Dowdy · 2014
INTRODUCTION The proposed product is an effect created by the hybridization of sounds through mixing and changing their magnitudes, phases, and formants. Various combinations of these, along with a various number of sound inputs can be used to create new sounds, or to slightly change a sound to better suit its desired purpose. This effect is primarily to be used for the creation of sound effects for film and television or video games, though it could also be used in musical applications. This hybrid sound effect can be useful as sound effects often are a display of hyper-reality and unrealistic when heard separately in order for them to emphasise the visual and emotional aspects of the format [1]. Therefore, these sounds can be created with the aid of this effect as it combines different audio inputs in different ways. The audio inputs can be library effects or recorded sounds used to create new, futuristic sounds for objects that don’t exist or to enhance the sounds available to them depending on the application.
