The stand is definitely having an impact on the sound because of the shape of the stand, the ground the people in it and the the stand it self and the glass windows
the reason for this:
the stands shape : the shape of the stand makes a "C" at the top which makes the sound bounce back making a small reverberation witch makes that bounces back to the the marching band the reason the reverberation is not as strong is because of all the opens space.
the ground: the ground in this video appears to be fulled with grass. this has a massive effect due to the little hole with in the ground. The percussion used has a up down sound and when the sound hits the ground it observe making the sound quiet and taking the reverberation.
The audience: the human body observe the sound due to the surface on the our skin being soft.
The glass: Glass reflect image but it also reflect sound because of the hard surface.
Why do marching bands have so many instruments, and loud ones!
marching are known to for their loud instruments. the reason its loud its because they are meant to cheer audience before in open spaces the amount of instrument's effect how loud the sound is.
Is this music suitable for the acoustic environment? Why?
this type of music is only suitable for outdoor because if the track is played in a small environment the sound becomes unbearable due to reverberation bouncing aggressively against the wall. the instruments they use is are all loud and having the song played out side makes the sound loud enough for the audeince to hear and the song becomes more enjoyable due to no hard serface stoping the sound.
B) Can you hear any reverberation. Do you think that comes from the room or might there be some digital reverb? Give reasons for your answer.
instruments: key board acoustic guitar1 main cords, acoustic guitar2 solo
keyboard: I can hear a small amount of reverberation but this might be coming from the amplifier but or an software on the computer but its digital not analog
guitar1: guitar is made out of the revered sounds. so when it came to recording lots of guitar has a mic inside the body of the guitar and this guitar happens to be one. but what happens that sound within the body goes down the line to whatever is being recorded making the sound more controllable from the mixing desk.
guitar 2: guitar 2 is doing the solo and what the band did which was really smart was to use the acoustic guitar with the bigger body to do the solo they also used a a dynamic mic to record the sound instead of the in built mic which has a small amount of reverb in it .
the vocal: the singer seems to have no reverb if you don't pay attention to the song but towards the end when the instruments stops and he carry on singing, you can here a lot of reverb.
Do you think the guitars are recorded through a mic or down a line?the guitar1:down the line
guitar 2:microphone
keyboard: down a line
vocals: microphone.
Describe the texture of the music. Does the acoustic environment suit the music?
the texture of the song on the beging start with homophonic texture the invireament in wiitch the sound is being active is very large by what I can here the reason I can tell that its a lage room possibly made out of stones and marbles is because theres a lot of reverberation witch is sound bounce off hard serface making and into the human are delayed in shord amount of time through out the soung the a harmobnic feel to it and you can here that sound also has a polyphonic feel to it due to the harmanic increasing and decreasing
the music definitely suits the environment but because the equipment is good it can the music they made can be recorded almost anywhere. the environment is perfect to the environment beacuse its a big closed space making a fantastic depth to the sound almost increasing the sound.
Track 3
vocals only
for this track you can only hear harmonies between a individuals singing together in a choir. the environment that they are in helps that style of singing due to the massive size and the hard marble surfaces that reflect the off of it. at the beginning of the sing the singers starts out by sing at a monophonic style of texture which develops on to a homophonic and then deeper into the song you can hear a polyphonic. This type of technic used in this song is used quite allot in the modern world of today and having a mix of texture in a song helps make a simple song full due to the diversity of each tone for example having the chord on the song and a melody that compliments the chords makes the texture of the song polyphonic which is in my opinion the most used type of texture with in the music industry today.
