Additive & Subtractive synthesis Additive synthesis Additive synthesis is the process of adding together multiple Sine waves together to create a different timbre. Technically any waveform could be used to do this such as a square wave or a saw wave, however, Sine waves are the purest waves. This is because sine waves are perfectly curved meaning you can never multiply straight lines to get a sine wave. Additive was created in 1935 by an American inventor named Thaddeus Cahill. Subtractive synthesis Subtractive synthesis is the process of taking away frequencies to create a thinner timbre. Unlike additive synthesis subtractive synthesis is used with multiple different waves to create its sound. This could include saw waves, square waves or triangle waves. Subtractive synthesizers often start with an oscillator this is a device which creates the original sound. This sound is then fed into a filter where frequencies can be subtracted and then t...

Analysis of environment " So what" is recorded in an open space somewhat resembling a hall. The big open space means that there would be a lot of reverberation which makes the recording sound bigger and more spacious. I believe that it was recorded in this environment to give the sound a bigger thicker sound however the room that this is recorded in also has a lot of people In it this is a less then ideal recording environment because the more people in a room. The more noise that would be created from their movements and them speaking. All of these noises can bleed into the microphones and lead to a recording sounding messy and having a lot of unscored background noise in it. The fact that all the instruments where recorded in the same room means that there is a lot of bleed from each instruments into other microphones this makes the recording sound muddy. This could have been fixed by using divisors to separate in...
