    Yeah? I misspelled frequency. Alright. Ya know what. All ad revenue from this vid will go to a spelling coach. 🖌📝

    8:02 this would also be a great menu sub category selection sound, or pause/resume sound

  • @nyoukki
    @nyoukki 5 років тому +72

    Maybe it's so high because each octave doubles the frequency of the sound ?
    Edit : Yes, I was talking about 4:44

    • @MarshallMcGee
      @MarshallMcGee  5 років тому +37

      Yes, exactly. The halfway point in terms of raw Hz is 10,000. But that's only one octave below the highest note you can possibly hear when talking about notes or pitches the way we think of them.

    • @MrAwesomeTheAwesome
      @MrAwesomeTheAwesome 5 років тому +5

      I found a more intuitive average.
      It's:
      upperbound / sqrt(upperbound/lowerbound)
      which is equal to:
      lowerbound * sqrt(upperbound/lowerbound)
      So:
      20,000 / sqrt(1000) = ~632.5hz
      ---
      I reverse engineered the math used to find the 'tritone' interval in music.

    • @zack31191
      @zack31191 5 років тому +4

      Yeah, it's more natural to think of frequencies on a log scale (or log2 scale, if you're thinking of octaves). So then we can think of human hearing ranging from around 4 (log2 units) to 14. And he played something at around 13.

    • @radunicolof7938

      Pitch perception is logarithmic to frequencies

    I was admiring the sound design in The Last of Us. Just the sound of ripping tape or refilling the flamethrower. So I UA-camd: "Sound design in video games" and your channel came up. This channel is criminally undersubscribed. You know your stuff and your voice is top tier.

    I remember you saying you were playing Dad of War for the awesome sound design. I'm happy you made a video on it too. You're the only UA-camr I stop whatever I'm doing for just to watch a new upload. Always worth it.

    It's amazing how hearing them separately sounds quite odd, but hearing it finished and in game sounds pretty good.

  • @EricJEarley
    @EricJEarley 5 років тому +6

    The "pitch" of a sound is defined by its frequency. Frequencies don't change on a linear scale. It changes on a logarithmic scale.
    Normally, a log scale uses base 10 (10^1, 10^2, 10^3), but frequency use base 2 (2^1, 2^2, 2^3).
    This means that, for human perception, a pitch at 10 kHz sounds an octave lower than one at 20 kHz, but sounds an octave higher than 5 kHz and two octaves higher than 2.5 kHz.

  • @exceptionalish614
    @exceptionalish614 5 років тому

    Real glad I found your channel man, great content! I didn't even realize that there was such a need for simple analysis/explanations of sound design until I watched a few of your videos. It really helps me to understand layering on a whole new level without even needing to get into all your nitty gritty settings for EQs, compression, etc. That stuff is important, sure, but this is the foundation that I had been missing that sort of makes all of my prior knowledge start to click.

    See how they do and how you do this fantastic job is something increadible,really inspired me with your work.

  • @AlekPlaysMinecraft
    @AlekPlaysMinecraft 5 років тому +1

    To answer the question: Musical notes each have their own specific frequency measured in Hz. Let’s take a basic A note, which has a frequency of 440 Hz in a specific octave (432 Hz for all those music theorists). If you go an octave higher, the frequency of that new A note will be 880. This continues, each octave doubling the frequency. If you go the other way, the note frequencies are halved. The frequency of a note on a piano and the trend of its octaval frequencies is exponential, meaning that the difference between a high note and it’s lower octave is far larger than the difference between two lower octaves of that note. Additionally (and this might be more of a psychological thing than physical science/math) but most of our human musical harmony and melody (and human voices) takes place in the lower frequencies. You’ll never really “hear” the higher frequencies in music because the parts of the songs that reach to those high frequencies are typically transients or drum sounds which have no melodic or harmonic quality. Ableton Live’s EQ shows this visually, it condenses specific frequency ranges to compensate for that exponential increase.

I love this video and found it extremely informative but I suspect different results could happen if you hit that glass cover/bowl thing with plastic versus metal versus wood and so on. Thanks!
