Better audio engineering with the Fourier Transform
11/15/21 • 26 min
The Fourier Transform has made a huge contribution to almost every area of audio engineering. From individual filters to full mastering suites; from tuning your guitar to how we store and transmit sound, the Fourier Transform is there ferreting out every bit of frequency information from your time-based audio signal.
In this episode, we look at a few examples of how the Fourier Transform has revolutionized the way engineers work with sound.

Preventative Maintenance, life saving technology with the Fourier Transform
Preventative Maintenance is where we monitor the "health" of a system. If something in the system begins to wear out, we can take it offline for maintenance or repair BEFORE something goes seriously wrong.
In this podcast, we’ll investigate how the Fourier Transform can be used to listen to the health of an airplane's jet engine in much the same way a doctor uses a stethoscope to listen to your heart, a simple, non-invasive procedure that can save lives.
I also answer a listener's question on how the Fourier Transform is used in Filter Banks, as well as giving an update on my progress on the "How the Fourier Transform Works" online course.

How the Fourier Transform Works - Better audio engineering with the Fourier Transform
Transcript
Introduction 0:00
Hello and welcome to episode 3 of a podcast all about the Fourier Transform.
My name is Mark Newman. Despite never being particularly good at maths at school, I managed to get a degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the University of Manchester in the UK and have been working as an electronics engineer for the past 25 years.
In that time, I’ve come to love and yes, maybe even obsess a little about the Fourier Transform and how
