Footnotes
1- This is a companion piece to A VisuAlchemical Silk Purse: How To Extract Stereoscopic Views From Video, hopefully found elsewhere on this website.
2- While the same audio information is suppose to be coming through both speakers, we none the less hear both speakers distinctly, having two ears in two different places. But that's about the most difference we ever hear between our ears, unless one's blocked or overwhelmed by competing sound. Which is great because that's how we can locate and differentiate the sources of sounds in space without seeing them. If there aren't too many sources or reflecting surfaces.
3- It was the 2nd to the last Bomb performance, as of this writing. Not long after, Michael Wareham Dean went south and became the DIY legend he always knew he was meant to be, in part by performing for the public, making ground breaking films, launching the $30 DIY School series of books for Muska&Lipman Publishing and repeatedly dragging it all around the globe to show you and your cousin how to do your own versions of it yourself. On behalf of appreciative fans around the world, thank you, Mr. Dean.
4- Examples of common devices that record audio and tend to collect dust include: Computers, VCRs, Video Cameras, PDAs, Cell Phones, Answering Machines, Boom Boxes, Cassette Decks, Dictaphones, Wax Cylinders, etc. The list does go on. Each one has its charms and warts. In conjunction, as in a mix, the total may be greater than the sum of their parts.
5- Which is pretty much the reason why graphic equalization exists in the first place, I reckon. I don't pretend to be shedding any light on the technology itself but rather I'm pointing your attention towards what may be an other-than obvious feature of it. That requires stating the obvious from time to time, the need for which may not be obvious, which is why I mention it now. Obviously.
6- A bass guitar is typically tuned low to high (looking down if your holding it right) E2, A2, D3 and G3. G4 is the highest sting played on the 12th fret, at the octave, which most basses possess. I tend to initially concentrate my EQ on the top half of the neck from the nut, E2 to C4, and then venture out as needed.
7- This chart is a fanciful composite created from the bass guitar over time. I use it in order to increase the probability that all the notes in the song, that can be heard, are represented in the chart.
8- The ranges you set are determined by the sounds you are working with and the energy vs. clarity problems they uniquely pose. FYI: Information about the ranges of a wide variety of musical instruments & more, is available on the internet, for the inquiring mind.
9- I have to confess that this example is a bit of a fraud. For one thing, I'm not sure Michael Dean is technically a tenor and for another, the range for the guitar represents its tuning and frets but doesn't take feedback and distortion into account, which can be and was a major factor in the startling sound of Bomb going off. I expect due consideration will be given for the spirit of the thought, if not its strict adherence to the truth.
