Hi, my name is Jan Wilczek. I am an audio programmer and a researcher. Welcome to WolfSound!
WolfSound's mission is to provide high-quality, informative, and entertaining videos, articles, and courses on how to process sound by exploring mathematics, applying algorithms, and creating code in various programming languages. Topics include sound synthesis, digital signal processing, programming languages for audio (C, C++, Python, Rust), and audio effects. I am also sharing tips on how to learn fast and effectively. Make sure to visit https://www.thewolfsound.com/.
WolfSound enables everybody to learn about audio programming!
ABOUT THE VIDEO
In this video, you will learn everything on amplitude/cutoff/frequency envelopes in sound synthesis:
➡️ What is an envelope?
➡️ What can an envelope control?
➡️ Applications of envelopes
➡️ Types of envelope segments
➡️ All envelope types:
⏩ Attack-Decay (AD)
⏩ Attack-Release (AR)
⏩ Attack-Decay-Release (ADR)
⏩ Attack-Decay-Sustain (ADS)
⏩ Attack-Decay-Sustain-Release (ADSR)
⏩ Attack-Hold-Decay-Sustain-Release (AHDSR)
⏩ Attack-Decay1-Break-Decay2-Release (ADBDR)
⏩ Arbitrary
This knowledge will allow you to
✅ implement envelopes,
✅ obtain more natural or obscure sound in sound design,
✅ provide more liveliness to your sound,
✅ avoid clicks in audio.
In case of any doubt in understanding, please, refer to the article above or ask a question in the comments 🙂
