hi biggrin.gif i just started my college as an audio production major, and they keep telling me that math is a really big part of audio production, but i can't draw the lines between the two! does anyone else use math in their recording projects? and if so, what relevance does it have?! thanks alot!

Hey Bree,
I don't have a definitive answer but think its a good question! I guess all music is numerically based, thirds, fifths, octaves, harmonics etc. And I guess things like delay calculations for instance are easier if you have a math head. But who am I to say my math stinks! Joe Meek said something along the lines of "if it sounds right it is right" and I'll go with that. Looking forward to other posts on this one...

Good luck with your studies!

Actually music is exteemly mathamatical in nature. Time (tempo), numerical values are placed on the notes (12/note, 1/8note, ect) even the note tone has a numerical value mesured in Hz (ie 220 - 240) to insure a universal tuning. That is one of the main reasons music is so universal, just like mathamatics.
There are even some programs out there that will let you write songs in a mathimatical formula. I wish I could remember where I saw the info on that, but maybe someone else will come up with it (before I unstall my brain (suffering from CRS))! unsure.gif

Not to speak about all the math involved in digital, audio levels, frequencies, impedances, acoustic, etc...
Not complicated math, but still math smile.gif

For more info on this subject check out "The Schillinger System of Musical Compositiom" and "The Mathematical Basis of the Arts". Both by Joseph Schillinger and available through Amazon.com or possibly your local library.
