The Virtual Singing Studio: A loudspeaker-based room acoustics simulation for real- time musical performance
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Virtual Singing Studio (VSS) is a loudspeaker-based room acoustics simulation for real-time musical performance under development at the AudioLab, University of York. An objective evaluation of the VSS found that relative differences between T30 values of the input (real) and output (virtual) Room Impulse Responses fall within the double tolerance subjective limen (10%). In addition a consideration of the most suitable microphone type and placement for the simulation is carried out by recording a singer with a number of different microphones. Whilst a microphone placed overhead is most realistic for the singer since unseen, it has been shown to cause a pitch shifting artefact due to the presence of high frequency energy

متن کاملInfluence of Room Acoustics on Choir Singing 2
Multitrack recordings of a mixed adult choir with 23 singers were collected in order to investigate the influence of varied room acoustical conditions on a choir’s performance with regard to intonation, loudness, tempo, and timing precision. Headset microphones were used to record each chorister separately while the collected sound of all singers was presented via headphones exerting acoustic s...

Several audio reproduction systems can be used for creating these virtual sound fields: some are “lightweight”, attachedto-the-user systems, like the reproduction through headphones including the effect of HRTFs (head-related transfer functions), while some others are more expensive in terms of resources and materials. Among this last category are the systems based on multiple loudspeakers arra...
