Theory:
What is an Image?

An image is a visual representation of something, while a digital image is a

binary representation of visual data. These images can take the form of
photographs, graphics and individual video frames.

What is Graphics media?

Graphic media is any type of media that is made up from graphic

techniques, mark making, digital vector and rasterized images (logos,
layouts etc), digital and traditional painting, 3D modeling, pretty much
anything that makes an image on a surface.

Note about Pixel Based V/S Vector Based Images

Vector file graphics are more mathematical than pixel images. As you zoom
into a vector image or make it bigger, you won't see pixel squares because
the lines and shapes in the image are mapped out mathematically so they
will always readjust to keep their original shape.

Pixels are tiny coloured squares on a screen and when there are a lot of
them together, they make up a pixel based graphic. Vector graphics are
mapped out using mathematical equations which calculate where the
edges of the shapes sit in relation to one another.

colors of the pixels at a boundary

Light & Shadow :- Light and shadow effect can judge the position of light source and the
material quality of objects

Audio Mixing
Controls used for mixing The controls used for mixing are the Mute and Solo buttons
and the Gain (-.....+) and Pan (L.....R) sliders.

In the above example, mixing the mono (upper) and stereo (lower) track means that the
audio of the mono track will be heard equally in both left and right channels of the
resulting stereo mix.

How channels are mixed

The channel of a track being mixed affects whether it will be mixed into the left channel
of the resulting track(s), the right channel, or both (mono). For example, if you have four
tracks:
Track 1: left channel

20 Saitej Parab B-20-1223

M.T LAB JOURNAL

Track 2: left channel

Track 3: right channel
Track 4: mono channel and you select them all and perform a Mix and Render, you will
end up with one stereo track:

The left channel will contain a mix of tracks 1, 2, and 4,

The right channel will contain a mix of tracks 3 and 4.

Muting and Soloing

When working with multiple tracks, it is often important to be able to hear just one at a
time. Each track has a Mute and a Solo button, allowing you to temporarily hear just
some of your tracks.

Mute causes a track to be silenced. More than one track can be muted. Solo can behave
in two different ways depending on the setting made in Tracks Preferences. Default
behavior, the "Simple" setting, is that clicking Solo on any track mutes all the other
tracks. To solo more than one track, hold Shift down while clicking the Solo button on
the additional tracks to be soloed. On the additional tracks that are soloed, the Solo
button overrides the Mute button. Selecting the "Multi-track" setting will suit those used
to mixing desks and other professional audio software. Any number of tracks can be
made solo so that they mix together. If any Solo button is down this overrides the Mute
button.
If on any occasion you want the Solo button to play only one track at a time (so that
clicking it releases any other Solo buttons), hold down Shift when clicking Solo.

None: A third option in Tracks Preferences, the "None" setting, removes the Solo button
from all tracks, leaving just a Mute button which silences whichever track or tracks it is
applied to. If on any occasion you want the Mute button to silence only one track at a
time (so that clicking it releases any other Mute buttons), hold down Shift while clicking
Mute. You can press the Mute and Solo buttons while tracks are playing.

If you are using the keyboard, Shift+U toggles muting on the currently focused track
which has the yellow border, and Shift + S toggles soloing. The solo shortcut works
even if you hide the Solo button.

EX.9. Audio editing effects

To add an effect in Audacity:

1. Highlight to portion of audio you would like to add the effect to
2. Click Effect
3. Pick which affect you want, adjust parameters, and apply

Amplify
Use the Amplify effect to change the volume of the selected audio track or portion.

Type in a value or use the slider to increase or decrease the volume and select ok.

22 Saitej Parab B-20-1223

M.T LAB JOURNAL

Fade In / Fade Out

“Fade In” takes the volume level of a clip from silence to full volume over a particular
length of time. Simply select the part of the track that you want to fade, and select “Fade
In” (Effect > Fade In):

“Fade Out” (Effect > Fade Out) does exactly the opposite. This is commonly used to fade
out the background music at the end of the project. You can use a very short (less than a
second) fade in or fade out to prevent the jarring appearance of background noise from
a noisy clip, or a much longer fade out when fading out background music.

Reverb
Reverb is an audio effect that can be described as the sound of the space. If you have
ever yelled or clapped your hands in a large room, you have heard reverb. Most
recordings are made in a studio, where there is little to no reverb. But you can add it with
audio effects to make a vocal, instrument or sound effect sound more full.

To access the Reverb Effect in Audacity, go to Effects > Reverb.

23 Saitej Parab B-20-1223

M.T LAB JOURNAL

Noise Reduction
A noise reduction tool is a very useful tool. It removes unwanted drones or frequencies
caused by noises in your environment, or by equipment malfunction, such as a loose
connection or buzzy mic. In Audacity this effect is called Noise Reduction. In order for it
to work, you need to feed it a sample of audio with only the noise you want removed.
That is why recording some room tone is a good idea. Some recommend recording one
minute of room tone before beginning, to have an easy sample to feed it.
