30 null terms

Analog
Is one that is made by changing the sound waves into electrical signals of the same type. An analog signal is a signal of this. It is any system whose signals are represented by continuous values, that is, it admits infinite numbers or values.
Example: We started talking about digital versus analog recording.
Audio
Sound recording, treatment, transmission and reproduction system.
Example: Compare with Web audio example 4.12, which has been equalized, balanced, treated with reverb, and given a fade-out, unlike the present raw recording.
Beat
Consists of melody and percussion. A flow of movement, controlled or measured, sound or visual, generally produced by an arrangement of different elements of the medium in question. It is a basic feature of all the arts, especially music, poetry, and dance.
Example: He beat me fair and square
Beatmaker
Are the people who create their own music or are the same music producers, most of the rappers or Mc's. The artist who focuses on creating rhythms or beats using the sampling technique.
Example: "Become Dr. Dre Beatmaker with this mobile music production application, in less than 2 minutes you learn to play the famous track "Still Dre""
Cable
The electric cable is composed of the conductor, the insulation or insulator, the filling layer and the jacket
Example: An electric cable is an element manufactured and thought to conduct electricity
CD
The compact disc (popularly known as CD for the acronym in English Compact Disc) is an optical disc used to store data in digital format, consisting of any type of information
Example: CDs have a storage capacity of about 700MB, while conventional DVDs have a capacity of approximately 4,700MB or 4.7GB
Clashing frequencies
Is when the rms and peak of signals rather close in level occupy the same frequency range at the same time on the same speaker and hence to some degree cancel each other out in terms of perception. A couple of instruments seem to be clashing or covering each other up
Compressor
It is an electronic sound processor designed to reduce the dynamic range of the signal without its presence being too noticeable. This task is performed by reducing the gain of the system, when the signal exceeds a certain threshold. Compress or cut off very short-lived peaks present in the mix.
Example: Such broadband pulses would require a suitable compressor stage to achieve a transform-limited duration.
DAW
Is an electronic system dedicated to the recording and editing of digital audio by means of audio editing software. Is a hardware device or software application used to compose, produce, record, mix, and edit audio such as music, voice effects, and sound.
Example: The most popular DAWs are the Reaper, Cubase, Pro Tools, FL Studio, and the Garage Band.
Delay
Delay is a sound effect that consists of the multiplication and modulated delay of a sound signal. Once the signal is processed, it is mixed with the original. The result is the classic sound echo effect.
Example: Delay is a word and one of the most used by all gamers
Eq
Is the process of adjusting the balance between frequency components within an electronic signal. Is a software or hardware tool that allows you to adjust the output of different sound frequencies.
Example: For leadership positions, EQ accounts for 90 percent of success.
Fader
It is a gradual increase or decrease in the level of an audio signal. They are called potentiometers, but because of their function they are called fade, which in English means to fade, to fade. And that is what we do with this button, we increase or disappear the sound
Example: The FADER is the definitive voice of music and the lifestyle that surrounds it.
Frequencies
The rate at which a vibration occurs that constitutes a wave, either in a material (as in sound waves), or in an electromagnetic field (as in radio waves and light), usually measured per second. Is the number of completed wave cycles per second. In other words, frequency tells us how many wave crests pass a given point in a second.
Example: The human ear cannot hear very high-frequency sounds.
Gain staging
Is the process of adjusting your levels at each gain stage for optimum overall signal quality. Is a point during an audio signal flow where the engineer can make adjustments to the level, like a fader on a mixing console or in a DAW.
Example: What do you hope to gain from the course?
Midi
Is a technology standard that describes a protocol, a digital interface, and connectors that allow various electronic musical instruments, computers, and other related devices to connect and communicate with each other. A medium generally in the form of a keyboard that transmits a signal / s to the computer informing it of different characteristics such as: speed, sustain, duration, and more.
Example: You don't need the biggest size skip - the midi skip should easily be big enough.
Mix
Is a process used in sound recording and editing to balance and balance the relative volume and equalization of the sound sources that are present in a sound event. Audio mixing is the process of manipulating tracks and combining them. Various methods are used such as EQ, etc..
Example: Oil and water don't mix. Even if you shake them together they separate into two layers.
MP3
MPEG-1 Audio Layer III or MPEG-2 Audio Layer III, more commonly known as MP3, is a digital audio compression format that uses a lossy algorithm to achieve a smaller file size.
Example: Convert Youtube Videos to MP3 for Free with our Youtube MP3 Converter
Plug in
Plugins are self-contained pieces of code that can be "plugged in" to DAWs to enhance their functionality. Generally, plugins fall into the categories of audio signal processing, analysis, or sound synthesis. ... Typical plugins include equalization, dynamic range control, reverberation, delay, and virtual instruments. Plug-in, also called add-on or extension, computer software that adds new functions to a host program without altering the host program itself. Widely used in digital audio, video, and Web browsing, plug-ins enable programmers to update a host program while keeping the user within the program's environment.
Example: The keyboard plugs in at the back of the computer.
Production
Is recorded music that can be licensed to customers for use in film, television, radio and other media. Often, the music is produced and owned by production music libraries. Is the process of developing, creating and refining recorded music for public presentation. Music production can refer to the entire lifecycle of a piece of music—from songwriting and composition to recording and sound design to mixing and mastering
Example: Swedish industrial production has fallen steadily this year.
Radio
Radio is a means of communication that is based on sending audio signals through radio waves, although the term is also used for other forms of remote audio transmission such as Internet radio.
Example: W Radio Mexico live radio station.
Reverb
Reverberation is a sound phenomenon produced by reflection, which consists of a slight permanence of the sound once the original source has stopped emitting it. ... Reverb, by modifying the original sounds, is a parameter that significantly quantifies the acoustics of a room.
Example: The title of the video has the name of the song and the artist with the words slowed + reverb
Samples
Act of taking a portion or sample of a sound recorded on any type of medium to later reuse it as a musical instrument or a different sound recording.Uses sound recordings that are loaded or recorded on it by the user to went using a keyboard.
Example: Dre's 1999 song "What's the Difference" featuring Eminem and Xzibit, which in turn revolved around a sample from Charles Aznavour's 1966 song "Parce Que Tu Crois".
Saturation
Is a combination of two distinct but related effects – soft-knee compression, and harmonic generation. Occur when any part of a feedback control system reaches a physical limit.
Example: Saturation of the soils is greatly increased by any increased level of the lake.
Sidechain
It is a musical production technique commonly associated with pop and dance music, although it is also used more discreetly in other genres. To carry out this technique, a compressor uses the volume of an input signal to determine how strongly it reduces the gain in its output signal. An effect in digital audio processing
Example: Right-click on that Synth track icon and select the 'Sidechain to this track' option to activate the Kick Sending
Signal
An audio signal is an analog signal electrically accurate to a sound signal; it is normally limited to the range of frequencies audible by humans, which is approximately between 20 and 20,000 Hz
Example: It is taken as a rule that the bandwidth of an audio signal is between 20 Hz and 20 Khz.
Spectrum analyzer
Measures the magnitude of an input signal versus frequency within the full frequency range of the instrument. The primary use is to measure the power of the spectrum of known and unknown signals. A tool used to analyze data.
Example: The survey revealed a wide spectrum of opinion.
Tool
A device or implement, especially one held in the hand, used to carry out a particular function. An instrument (as a saw, file, knife, or wrench) used or worked by hand or machine to perform a task
Example: Early humans shaped tools out of stone.
Tracks
Represents the amplitude pattern of a sound with respect to time. It is the graphic and colorful way to see a recording
Example: In programs like Traktor and Rekordbox, the colors of this representation will help you to know the intensity in the rhythm of a track.
Voltage
Voltage is the physical capacity that an electrical circuit has, because it drives electrons along a conductor
Example: The flow of electricity through an object, such as a wire, is known as current
VST
A VST file contains a plugin that can be used to change the audio and is normally used by digital audio applications. Allows you to simulate a complete study virtually.
