Comparison of Audio Signals Obtained with Source Overlay (OAS) and Other Conventional Recording Methods

Document Thumbnail

Overlay Model of Acoustic Sources (OAS) is an unconventional recording method with a stereo microphone array. This model was proposed as a methodological alternative that allows emulating a recording single-take of a musical group. It is based on the presumption of a linear behavior in a recording system and involves doing partial captures of musical instruments that integrate the entire assembly. Experimental tests were done to corroborate the system's linearity; two speakers are used instead of musicians and audio is recorded with conventional techniques and model of Overlay of Acoustic Sources. The audios were discretized using MATLAB in order to evaluate their physical parameters and the correlation coefficients between energy, maximum values, minimum values, frequency response, the zero crossings rate, and spatiality of recordings. All the research sought to answer the question if it is possible to get an audio signal able to imitate the signal characteristics captured in real time in a recording by takes. The results showed that it is possible when the recording is performed with the method of overlay of acoustic sources (OAS).
