Why We Chose this Project
Though we might not realize, audio is an essential part to any computer experience. We often take for granted the ability to instantly be able to listen to any song, video, or simply user feedback from our devices. Especially when it comes to communication, we can utilize computers and similar devices to speak and listen through applications like Zoom or a phone call. Once we begin to realize these things in our everyday lives, it is easy to become fascinated by machine audio in all aspects.
As we have come to find out throughout the learning portion of this project, audio is rich with fascinating information covering a wide variety of subjects. Our research only scratches the surface of what there is to be discovered. Whether it be the physical or digital storage of computerized sound, manipulation of a specific file, or the headphones that we wear every day, audio utilizes all aspects of computer science. We hope you enjoy our project.
The Project Members
Kyle McFadden: I’m Kyle, a second year student at Saint Norbert College. I’m the owner of this website, along with Braeden and Hunter, who helped me with this project. My role was in the background research and in building the website. I will admit, I did struggle a bit on this project, but I was thankful to have two great partners and friends who would help me see this project to its end.
Braeden Neta: I’m a second-year student with a major in History and a minor in Computer Science. In this project I was responsible for the programs and the research that accompanied them. I enjoyed learning about this subject and how one might begin interacting with the specific bits within files in c++.
Hunter Janssen: I am a second-year student who is double majoring in computer science and mathematics. Throughout this project, I have been responsible for helping to build the website and conducting research, in particular the history and future portions. For me, computer audio was a topic that seemed daunting, but I enjoyed learning about new things in the process.
