Science Fair Proposal

Blog 5b: Science Fair Proposal

1) My topic is EDM (Electronic Dance Music)

2) EDM events mostly cater and market to a specific age group since this is the age group that will mostly attend their events and therefore create the most revenue for their events.

3) If you are between the ages of 18-25 you are more likely to attend EDM events than if you are older than the age of 25.

4) In order to figure out if my hypothesis is true I plan to first create unbiased questions regarding EDM events. I will wok with Ogden in order to create these questions and create a survey that I will be able to use. I will then go to a location where the majority of the age group will be between the ages of 18-25, so I will choose a college campus in order to get as accurate as possible with survey. I will then interpret all the numbers i gather from the survey to see if my statement is true and figure out a 90% box plot and see if the age group 18-25 is withing that range. I will also try and obtain demographics of all the major EDM events to see if they have released any information that might be useful to my statement such as that of age and revenue per event, per year.

5) Mathematics & Computer Science/ Behavioral & Social Science

Blog 9: Working EQ and Possible Answers

Blog 9:  Working EQ and Possible Answers

(1) What are the most important and effective components to produce a successful EDM song?

(2) I am not going to revise my EQ at this time.

(3) Some possible answers to my current working EQ would have to be that one of the most important parts of producing an EDM song is to have a lead synth. Another important aspect in producing an EDM song is to properly learn how to mix your end result so that you do not have clashing of sounds and frequencies in your final product. An effective and essential component in producing an EDM song is that of knowing how to use your audio effects correctly, especially your compression audio effect since it provides you with the option of side-chaining which is a key component in an EDM song.
