Voice Demo
Four voice samples with raw and processed versions, demonstrating English technical narration, conversational delivery, expressive reading, and native Brazilian Portuguese. Recorded with Audio-Technica AT2020, M-Audio M-Track Solo, and edited/exported in FL Studio.
Natural English explanation style, showing spoken clarity, timing, and less formal delivery.
Expressive read demonstrating tone control, atmosphere, and dynamic vocal presence.
Native Brazilian Portuguese sample demonstrating natural articulation, pacing, and bilingual voice capability.
Audio Restoration -- Before & After
Before/after restoration cases showing noise reduction, room cleanup, clipped vocal repair, and AI-generated audio denoising. All WAV files are short 48kHz / 24-bit exports.
Audio Annotation & Technical Evaluation Sample
Structured annotation and technical evaluation of an unreleased human-made production excerpt, combining timestamped segmentation, instrumentation tagging, vocal-sample treatment notes, mix behavior, measured fidelity review, and evaluation-style technical annotation.
| Section | Summary |
|---|---|
| Purpose | Portfolio annotation sample demonstrating timestamped segmentation, instrumentation tagging, vocal-sample treatment notes, mix behavior, measured fidelity review, and evaluation-style technical annotation. |
| Arrangement / Production | The excerpt develops from a chopped spoken-word interview intro into a filtered 808-driven electronic beat, using gating, reverse edits, cut-and-repeat phrasing, synth pads, bell-like synth details, and LFO-driven synth-bass movement. |
| Technical Behavior | The intro is more open and midrange-forward, while the beat sections are moderately compressed, center-focused, and low-end dominant, with the strongest measured low-frequency focus around 64.6 Hz. |
| Evaluation Focus | The main production signature is the transformation of spoken-word material into rhythmic and musical texture. The main technical flag is peak/headroom: true peak reaches around +1.2 dBFS, so the file is not broadcast-safe without correction. |
This document presents a structured audio annotation of an unreleased 2016 production excerpt, combining musical segmentation with measured technical review. Integrated loudness is estimated at -8.6 LUFS, with 9.0 LU loudness range and true peak around +1.2 dBFS. The mix is narrow-to-moderate, center-focused, and mostly mono-compatible by correlation, with controlled transients and no proven sustained clipping, codec artifacts, or phase problems. Overall fidelity is best described as clean demo / mid-tier production, with a clear note that peak/headroom correction is needed before broadcast-safe delivery.
Sound Design Reel -- Breakcore / Synth Voice Processing
Original sound design and production excerpt in a breakcore-influenced experimental electronic style. The piece combines bass design, synth/FM texture, processed voice material, fast breakbeat edits, dense rhythmic programming, and club-oriented low-end pressure.
| Source | Original production excerpt by Lucas Fernandes Nascimento |
| Style | Breakcore-influenced experimental electronic |
| Focus | Bass design, synth/FM texture, processed voice material, fast breakbeat edits, dense rhythmic programming |
| Role | Composition, sound design, arrangement, processing, mixing, mastering |
| File | sound-design-reel-breakcore-synth-voice.mp3 |
- Bass design, synth/FM texture, processed voice material, filtered movement, and atmospheric buildup.
- Breakcore-influenced drum programming, fast breakbeat edits, dense rhythmic movement, bass pressure, and high-energy arrangement.
Evaluation Rubrics
Evaluating generative audio is different from evaluating finished records. You're not judging a final product -- you're judging a model's attempt to produce one. This framework is the working discipline I apply across audio evaluation and annotation workflows, holding two frames at once: is this good audio, and is this a good output given what was asked.
| Dimensions | 1. Audio Quality (technical) 2. Mix Quality (engineering) 3. Musicality (perceptual/aesthetic) 4. Prompt Adherence (generative-specific) 5. Vocal Quality (when present) |
| Featured | Intent vs. Failure |
The core discipline is distinguishing stylistic choices from technical failures. Four principles I apply:
- Genre baseline first -- establish what the genre accepts as normal before flagging
- Consistency test -- throughout-with-intention is stylistic; once-and-breaks-continuity is failure
- Engineer test -- would a professional release this take?
- Ambiguous cases -- autotune, distortion, lo-fi, pitch drift, dry vocals, compressed dynamics all shift stylistic/failure based on genre context
