Maybe not the most complex, but the most useful for me are the concepts of Envelope (like flight envelope) and range of operation. You start to understand how hard reality is and how engineered systems are all bound to it.
You can't have, for example, a mic capable of recording both a whisper and a rocket launch. You need to optimize for some function.
- ggeorgovassilis 6y agoI think the nature of trade-offs is interesting. I had a glimpse of understanding of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle when analysing a "beep" sound with Audacity. When switching to spectral view, I was expecting a single, clear frequency, but it was a band. The Fourier analysis settings include a "window size": the larger the window, the more precise the frequency becomes, but that temporal bounds (start and stop) become blurred.
- thewarrior 6y agoWhy not have two mikes that can record either and switch intelligently?
