[sdiy] JH - An example why digital audio ROCKS

[Peter Grenader]

This is an example of why digital audio cannot be ignored:

Listen to the following sound sample:

This little phrase consists of 40 different sound files, thrown together in
time precisely as I wanted them.  This would have required easily two to
three days work had I done it with a razor blade and splicing block and  a
ton of generations from track bouncing.

This is a screen shot of this segment in Digital Performer. The area inside
the gray'd out frame is what you're hearing

Each one of those little segments is a soundbyte, each at 24 bit, 44.1.
They can be moved around in time by a simple click and drag. Each has major
automation, which actually created most of the finished envelopes, all of
which utilized a parabolic curve tool available in Digital Performer - adn
you'll notice how these phrases fade in at a ice exponential attack as a
result.

enjoy (or not!),
