Preferred levels for background ducking to produce esthetically pleasing audio for TV with clear speech

In audio production, background ducking facilitates speech intelligibility while allowing the background to fulfill its purpose, e.g., to create ambience, set the mood, or convey semantic cues. Technical details for recommended ducking practices are not currently documented in the literature. Hence, we first analyzed common practices found in TV documentaries. Second, a listening test investigated the preferences of 22 normal-hearing participants on the Loud- ness Difference (LD) between commentary and background during ducking. Highly personal preferences were observed, highlighting the importance of object-based personalization. Sta- tistically significant difference was found between non-expert and expert listeners. On average, non-experts preferred LDs that were 4 LU higher than the ones preferred by experts. A sta- tistically significant difference was also found between Commentary over Music (CoM) and Commentary over Ambience (CoA). Based on the test results, we recommend at least 10 LU difference for CoM and at least 15 LU for CoA. Moreover, a computational method based on the Binaural Distortion-Weighted Glimpse Proportion (BiDWGP) was found to match the median preferred LD for each item with good accuracy (mean absolute error = 1.97 LU ± 2.50)

Databases are like Box Stores: Teaching Information Literacy with Analogy

Teaching information literacy (IL) often requires instructors to explain and explore abstract concepts. This feat is never easy, as novice students often need a bridge between concrete and abstract thinking. Current research on the topic suggests one effective way to teach new, abstract concepts to students of any age is by using an analogy. However, it’s difficult to come up with effective analogies on the fly. In fact, Rick Wormeli has stated in Metaphors & Analogies: Power Tools for Teaching Any Subject that “what may need to change in many of our classrooms is the purposeful pursuit of metaphors and analogies in our teaching instead of the momentary inspirations that may or may not be helpful to students\u27 learning (4, our emphasis).” In this session, we will begin by sharing some of our favorite analogies with you and explain how they have affected student learning at the EKS Library. We found analogies such as databases : boxstores (walmart & Target), Boolean searching : grocery shopping, and intellectual property : personal property. Each of the above analogies we use for library instruction came from different instruction librarians in our department and we each incorporate all of the analogies in our instruction. Next, participants will split into groups and identify difficult IL concepts to teach students. Some of those concepts will include: subject tagging of articles, scholarship as a conversation, and research as inquiry (the concept that its not just one search but revision, much like baking without a recipe). Then the groups will brainstorm effective analogies to better reach students. The groups will come back together and discuss effective analogies they came up with during the workshop time for difficult IL concepts. Difficult concepts that participants did not find analogies for will be discussed among the whole group for further ideas. The attendees will have a list of IL concepts and analogies to take back and try at their institutions.
