Re: In search of Basic Pedagogical Audio Material



Deal all,

i would like to say a big thank you to all those who replied to my questions on the list or directly to me; the ressources you pointed me at will be a great help for the setting of my course;

Best regards,

Olivier

Dear all,

Within a very short (2 days) course on Sound Synthesis, I would like to introduce the very basics of psycoacoustics.... in something like 1 hour, or less !

I already have the sufficient scientific background & material.
Unfortunately I have no exemplary sound.

Would anyone have a WWW pointer, or a CD reference, that would help me finding such basic exemplary sounds ?

I would be particularly interested in sound examples on :
- perception of Timbre (3D timbre space, suppression of attacks or of spectral enveloppe evolution, emergence of several instruments by applying vibrato...)
- sound localization, room and space perception
- perception of pitch (of sine sounds, to begin)
- eventually auditory illusions


Note that I don't plan on offering a deep introduction to psychouacoustics at all.
Basically, the simple message I would like to transmit to learners is that audio perception is something complex, sometimes astonishing.


I did not find such www pointers in the list archive, nor on google.

I consider generally that asking for pedagogical material is not very nice...
I allow myself to do so in that case because the core topic of my course is not psychoacoustics, and because I am only looking for the basics.


Hope you'll understand !

I thank you all in advance,
all the best,

Olivier Tache
