Some [Over]simplified Science of Sound Synthesis – Ring Modulation
Following a recent Discord discussion of Ring Modulation in sound synthesis, I put together a little video demonstration of the something called “ring modulation.” In synthesizers, this is a method of using one audio source to modify, or modulate, another. It’s also the basis of amplitude modulation. Think AM radio. It’s also the basis of a vocal effect called vocoding. Think the Dalek’s battle cry of “Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate!” Both A.M. and vocoding pile a lot of additional processing into the mix before getting a fully usable result. And, in creating synthesizer sounds, ring modulation can be pretty brutal when

Episode 01-03 – Fujifilm X-T200 Review – Is It Any Good For VLOGGING?
WHAT’S IN MY HEAD?Episode 01-03 I know that I promised to explain my recent comments that I’m “doing photography wrong”. That’s turned out to be a much bigger can of worms than I thought it was going to be. So instead, in this installment, I’ll provide my opinions on one of Fujifilm’s newest cameras and lenses, and whether or not it’s a good choice for vlogging. Stick with me, though. You’ll soon see how this relates to what I was supposed to be talking about. I promise. Really. https://youtu.be/kfwTxPg8nJo

Episode 01-01 — The Microphone Episode
In this episode, I show off the new-but-needs-improvement mounting of the Sony RX100iii main camera, as well as the very flexible mounting for the Logitech C920 web cam. And, I audition four microphones, two of which are still available on the market. The show ended up being a good bit longer than I expected, but it’s chock full of, well, something. https://youtu.be/HxLG47WlsIY There will be continued improvements to the “setup” for the next show, I’ll try to figure out who “we” is, and I’ll talk a little bit about building a new

Episode 01-00 — Elgato HD60s
The pilot episode of What’s In My Head is live. It’s far from perfect, but a lot has been learned. https://youtu.be/tE25-TMybNM Before the next episode, the Sony RX100iii will be mounted in place of the current Logitech, which will be mounted in a better position for “overhead” shots. I’m also going to try to do something better for my microphone for the “studio” recording than the Sony ECM-77b lavalier — it picks up a little too much room noise for my liking. I’m planning for the next show it
