Using an Audio Analysis System

Objective

In this KSB you will be introduced to computer software that you will use to analyze sound. You will input audio into the program and analyze the sound by both it's amplitude and frequency. You will also determine the component frequencies found in sounds by using the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) function. This will enable you to determine which harmonics are found in the music. Harmonics give music its character and in many ways correspond to the quality of music. Refer to Virtual Field Trip #1 for an introduction to harmonics as they relate to music.
