What's the colour of a noise and what is reverb T3 ? Posted on: 13.07.2012 by Garret Selstad What is the colour of a noise, like white noise and all, and what does the Reverb T3 do exactly (i sounds cool but i don't know exactly what it does) | |

| Garret Selstad 18.07.2012 | Thanks a lot ! Perfect answer |
| Nedra Fresneda 16.07.2012 | White noise is a randomly generated signal (sound) that is present almost equally on all frequencies. It's a raw sound, it has nothing to do with effects such as reverb or echo (doesn't mean you can't apply it to them later on). By using a spectrum analyzer you can clearly see this. Pink Noise has rolled off mids and highs to match the way the human ear works so it sounds more natural to us. It's often used to add ambiance to an audio sample without being too intrusive. There are many more "colors" of noise with varied applications. If you are interested in reading more on the subject read this Sound coloring is usually referred as processing a sound to alter it's original "tone" by means of eq/filtering/compression/distortion, etc. The term is used to make an association with cold and warm sounds with their equivalents (blue=cold red=warm) in the light and image world. The color coding of multicolor waveforms in DJ software doesn't translate to all software so simply discard it. Most audio processing software use the colors to describe the amplitude (volume) of certain frequencies, kinda what you see with meteorological images. |
| Garret Selstad 16.07.2012 | ok but is the equation right 'white noise is: amount of low = amount of med = amount (+echo, reverb and filter...) |
| Jonathan Chiuchiolo 15.07.2012 | Haha sorry for being cheeky I didn't know you speak english as a second language... patch is right, it's not important... but my interpretation of it is red is a low wavelength so it matches bass, green is a medium frequency wavelength so represents the midrange between bass and treble, and blue is a high frequency wavelength so represents the treble in sound. As stated before I have never heard anyone refer to the color of sound other than white and pink noise. If you have an image editor like photoshop or gimp you could see that red, blue and green light makes white light the same as sound. |
| Brunilda Kora 14.07.2012 | white noise is a horrible monotonous sound. The only reason it sound good in tracks is because filters and effects make it more pleasing, and gives it a type of movement, or progression. White noise sounds like this: http://soundcloud.com/shindyra/white-noise See - bloody horrible. Re: the colour of sound - I assume you're referring to when people say "mixer X colours the sound" or " fliter/EQ X colours the sound". Just ignore these people, and concentrate more on practicing the fun stuff (mixing!). Don't get too bogged down in terminology. Basically, by colouring the sound, they're talking about the effect (not an FX) that putting a sound through a certain piece of gear has on the sound. VERY basically - Amp to speaker = no colouring of the sound, but Amp to mixer X to speaker = sound coloured by mixer X. Seriously - ignore it. |
| Garret Selstad 14.07.2012 | ok re- read it: -> What's static noise (i'm not totally billingual) -> I I understand well: white noise is when the sound is heavy on echo filter and stuf and when : amount of low = amount of med = amount of hi. Is that right ? |
| Jonathan Chiuchiolo 14.07.2012 | The answer you want is encrypted within the original text, read it again slowly and you might crack the code and see the answer hidden deep within the text. there is no spoon, it's all an illusion you have created to hide the true meaning from yourself, once you understand this you will unlock the mystery of color and sound. |
| Garret Selstad 14.07.2012 | ok you told me what white noise was, but exactly is the color of a sound ? |
| Isa Erik 14.07.2012 | does anyone, by any chance, have a white noise sample from DJM mixers recorded in wav or good mp3 quality? |
| Garret Selstad 13.07.2012 | OH ok, because i noticed that The T3 reverb is stronger than the new reverb |
| Leeanna Ayla 14.07.2012 | The T3 in Reverb T3 is referring to the old Traktor 3. |
| Jonathan Chiuchiolo 13.07.2012 | reverb is a really small thick echo that makes it sound as if the song is playing in an open space like a hall, an amphitheater or a small room. It will give a sound depth. To understand white noise you need to know that to make white light you need equal parts of red, green and blue light. the way white noise is created is equal frequencies which will make a static noise. If you listen to any progressive or tech house production made in the last 10 years you will most likely hear a sweep made from a combination of a white noise generator, a filter, reverb and sometimes an echo or flanger. The only other reference to the color of a sound I have heard of is "pink noise". I has the mid (green)and high (blue) frequencies turned down a little to make a bassier (red) sound of the generator. |
