Peak Normalization

StarStarStarStar

The process of adjusting the audio level so that the peak amplitude reaches a target level, ensuring the maximum volume without distortion.

StarStarStarStar

Saturation

StarStarStarStar

The subtle form of distortion that adds harmonic complexity, warmth, and fullness to audio signals, often emulating the sound of analog tape or tubes.

StarStarStarStar

Dithering

StarStarStarStar

The process of adding low-level noise to a digital audio signal to mask unwanted harmonics and quantization error when reducing bit depth.

StarStarStarStar

Stereo Widening

StarStarStarStar

Technique used to create a sense of a wider stereo image or spatial depth in an audio mix.

StarStarStarStar

Dynamic Range Compression

StarStarStarStar

A process that reduces the volume of loud sounds or amplifies quiet sounds by narrowing the dynamic range of an audio signal.

StarStarStarStar

Audio Mastering Chain

StarStarStarStar

The signal processing sequence used in audio mastering, typically involving EQ, compression, limiting, and other effects, patched in a specific order.

StarStarStarStar

Equalization

StarStarStarStar

The process of adjusting the balance between frequency components within an audio signal.

StarStarStarStar

Mid/Side (M/S) Processing

StarStarStarStar

A technique where the audio material is divided into mid (center) and side (left & right difference) channels for independent processing to control the stereo image.

StarStarStarStar

Limiting

StarStarStarStar

A type of dynamic range compression that prevents an audio signal from exceeding a certain threshold.

StarStarStarStar

Loudness Normalization

StarStarStarStar

Matching audio levels for consistency across tracks and albums, often to conform to broadcast or streaming standards.
