    Ep. 7: Sound in Space: Reverb and Acoustics

    Every room has a sound of its own. In this episode, host Aleyna Neivandt-Brown unpacks the physics of sound, exploring how reflections and reverberation shape what we hear and how engineers manipulate those properties through acoustic treatment and studio design. From concert halls and metal plates to convolution algorithms and professional recording studios, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the acoustic principles that shape every recording. This episode is for musicians, audio engineers, architects, and anyone curious about the science of sound in space.

    Ep. 5: Inside the Microphone

    Take a closer look inside one of the most essential tools in every recording studio. In this episode, Aleyna Neivandt-Brown unpacks how microphones convert sound into electrical signals with approachable scientific breakdowns of dynamic, ribbon, condenser, and piezoelectric microphones. Learn how diaphragm size, polar patterns, phantom power, and transduction principles influence the sound you capture in the studio and in the field. Whether selecting your first microphone or expanding your engineering knowledge, this episode provides a practical foundation for understanding modern microphone technology.

    Ep. 3: EQ and Frequency Phenomena

    Discover how equalization shapes the tone, clarity, and balance of every great mix. In this episode, Aleyna Neivandt-Brown explores the science of frequency—from overtones to beats and combination tones—and applies it to practical audio examples including flute improvisations, sine tones, and noise samples. Learn how to use EQ as both a corrective and creative tool while developing a deeper understanding of the physics behind sound. Whether you're mixing your first session or refining your engineering technique, this episode provides proven strategies for creating cleaner, more transparent mixes.
