Photo by Angela Foster.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Having recorded his own music as well as others, Joshua Tyler knows good sound when he hears it.<\/p>\n<p>He also knows most recorded music could have better sound.<\/p>\n<p>A quest for improved sound led the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga doctoral student to develop a mathematical method of improving the quality of sound recordings, especially musical ones. As part of cultivating a culture of innovation, he is working on the project with Guerry and UC Foundation Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering Don Reising.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s all this voodoo right now in the audio production world of: \u2018OK, what\u2019s the best way to mix this so I don\u2019t lose audio quality when I release it?\u2019\u201d explained Tyler, the recipient of a bachelor\u2019s degree in electrical engineering from UTC in 2020 and a master\u2019s degree in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>He is working on his Ph.D. in computational engineering, which he hopes to finish in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>In audio recording, \u201cmixing\u201d takes all the recorded parts\u2014drums, bass, guitar, vocals, etc.\u2014and combines them into a single audio track. While doing so, Tyler explains, there\u2019s invariably some loss of audio quality. Perhaps it\u2019s not enough for the average listener to hear, but it\u2019s something most audio engineers will listen to and possibly cringe over.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou do all this compression and filtering while you\u2019re mixing it, so you\u2019re overall limiting the sonic quality of your mix,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Reising said Tyler\u2019s research \u201ccan revolutionize digital media by providing an audio quality unavailable to consumers, producers and distributors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt also has applications outside audio that can impact communications systems as well,\u201d said Reising, who has been Tyler\u2019s academic advisor since his senior year at UTC. \u201cTime will tell as to its full importance and the impact it can have. Josh and I are committed to working to maximize its impact and value.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tyler said the algorithm can be uploaded into a studio\u2019s system software and be part of the recording process. Tests have shown that it maintains 98% of the recording\u2019s original quality when all is said and done.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou just mix it how you want in the studio, you release it and you\u2019re guaranteed that whoever\u2019s listening to the music will hear what you did in the studio,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s behind-the-scenes and just makes things run better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Along with recording his own music, he has worked on recording and sound mixing at a church \u201cright in my backyard, so I started going there and then got involved doing audio production,\u201d Tyler said.<\/p>\n<p>Reising described Tyler as \u201ca very dedicated and passionate person.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe enjoys uncovering new solutions and methods to find them,\u201d Reising said. \u201cHe can understand things quickly and make connections between concepts he has learned and built upon. He is astute and a competent researcher.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During his Mocs experience, Tyler has received $5,000 from the Clarence E. Harris Chair Commercialization Acceleration Mini-Grant program in the Gary W. Rollins College of Business. He also received a $5,000 Maturation Grant from the University of Tennessee Research Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s using grant money to buy studio equipment to test the algorithm further.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith those results generated, we go out and do marketing for this. It\u2019s easy to implement. It\u2019s still electrical engineering at the end of the day,\u201d Tyler said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me it\u2019s like, \u2018Can I take what I learned from electrical engineering and apply it to make a better-sounding mix? Can I make it sound full? Can I make it sound clear? Can I have all this stuff going on at the same time and still maintain all this clarity?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Learn More<\/h4>\n<p><a
