Across
- 5. This is an audio processor that captures the characteristic elements of an an audio signal and then uses this characteristic signal to affect the voice.
- 8. An effect which combines a modulated delay with the original signal, using feedback to create a dramatic, sweeping sound.
- 14. A software package that automatically manipulates a recording of a vocal track until it is in tune regardless of whether or not the original performance was in tune.
- 15. A gliding effect that allows a sound to change pitch at a gradual rate, rather than abruptly, when a new key is pressed or MIDI note sent.
- 16. Placing mics away from the instruments to capture the surround/ room sound/ acoustics.
- 19. Taking a short piece of audio of one sound recording and reusing it as an instrument or element of a new recording.
- 20. A change in the audio waveform, causing a raspy or gritty sound quality.
- 22. A type of signal processor that reproduces the spatial sound of an environment.
- 23. This is an electrical device that typically increases the voltage or power of an electrical signal.
- 24. Bend A controller which is applied to a synthesized note, raising or lowering the pitch as one moves the joystick or wheel up and down.
Down
- 1. The practice of transferring material from one medium to another, or of adding further material to an existing recording
- 2. A delayed repetition of a signal or sound. A sound delayed 50 msec or more that is combined with the original sound.
- 3. A device with buttons that correspond to percussion sounds stored in computer memory. Patterns may be recorded into the memory and played back, or patterns may be played back through a computer.
- 4. A treatment applied to an audio signal in order to change or enhance it in some creative way.
- 6. A term first used in the 1980s to describe early ‘tapeless’ recording
- 7. This refers to the relative levels of the left and right channels of a stereo recording or it may be used to describe the relative levels of the various instruments and voices within a mix.
- 9. A guitar effects device where a bandpass filter is varied in frequency by means of a pedal control.
- 10. An electronic musical device, similar to a piano.
- 11. A special effect in which a signal is delayed by 15 to 35 msec.This creates a wavy, shimmering effect.
- 12. The time between a sound or control signal being generated and it auditioned or taking effect, measured in seconds. Often referred to as latency in the context of computer audio interfaces.
- 13. A special effect in which a signal is combined with its 15- to 35-msec-delayed replica. This process mimics the sound of two identical voices or instruments playing in unison.
- 17. A recording device capable of recording several 'parallel' parts or tracks which may then be mixed or re-recorded independently.
- 18. The process of defining a portion of audio within a DAW, and configuring the system to replay that portion repeatedly.
- 21. Modulates the amplitude of the incoming signal, resulting in periodic volume changes.
