This lesson looks at audio that can be used in multimedia. At the end of the lesson, the students will be able to:
Describe the components and measurements of sound
Use digital audio to record, process, and edit sound
Use MIDI and understand its attributes, especially relative to digitized audio
Compare and contrast the use of MIDI and digitized audio in a multimedia production
List the important steps and considerations in recording and editing digital audio
Determine which audio file formats are best used in a multimedia project
Cite the considerations involved in managing audio files and integrating them into multimedia projects
Many people, including some multimedia creators, think of multimedia as primarily a visual medium. Although visuals certainly are important, well-chosen and implemented sound can enhance your multimedia project as well. Video editors and producers, however, must note that audiences are generally more accepting of poor video quality than poor audio quality. This lesson introduces the class to audio that can be used in multimedia projects.
