1. Audio Production This PowerPoint presentation was prepared by David Christensen, Technical Director for Centrum. www.david-christensen.com for use class presentations during Centrum’s Blues and Chamber Music workshops in 2007. There are two files…the MHTML file made from PowerPoint, which you of course have found. (Note: Click “slide show” in the lower right for full screen viewing.) There is limited audio in the presentation, so turn up your volume. There is also a file called samples of A.wav If you load this file into any audio editing program (including Audacity a free program you can download) you will see the wave forms for a pure 440 Hz tone (A) and the wave form for the note A from a human voice, a flute, a guitar and a piano. This helps in understanding harmonics/overtones. The program will suggest when you want to look at this file. I hope you find the program of interest. I’d love to hear your comments.
