Digital Audio Workstation; a software application used for recording, editing, mixing, and producing audio files.

The process of managing the volume levels of audio tracks to prevent distortion and noise throughout the recording and mixing process.

An audio signal that has not been affected by any processing such as reverb, delay, or any other effect.

The number of bits of information in each sample, which determines the resolution or accuracy of the audio signal.

Listening to the input audio signals of the recording path directly before it passes through any digital processing or computer-based delay.

The level of background noise in a recording or the level of the lowest intensity sound that a system can process.

The ability to programmatically control and change parameters such as volume, pan, and effects over time within a DAW.

The reproduction of everyday sound effects that are added to film, video, and other media in post-production to enhance audio quality.

Musical Instrument Digital Interface; a protocol that allows musical instruments, computers, and other hardware to communicate and synchronize with each other.

Loudspeakers used in audio production to provide a flat and accurate representation of the sound, allowing for better judgment of mix balance and fidelity.

An audio signal that has been processed with effects like reverb or delay, providing a sense of space or added texture.

The distribution of a sound signal into a new stereo or multi-channel sound field; determining the apparent position of a sound within the stereo field.

The range between the quietest and the loudest sounds a system can produce without distortion.

The process of combining several audio tracks together to form a stereo or surround sound field.

The process of finalizing the audio project to ensure it sounds good on all playback systems and media formats.

A type of microphone that uses a capacitor to convert acoustic energy into an electrical signal, typically requiring phantom power and providing high-quality reproduction.

The process of lessening the dynamic range between the loudest and quietest parts of an audio signal.

Reverberation; the persistence of sound after the sound is produced, creating a sense of space and ambience in recordings.

The initial attack of a sound wave; the brief, high-energy burst at the beginning of a waveform.

The process of mixing multiple audio tracks into a final stereo or mono track, which is then exported to create a single audio file.

A technique that uses the output of one track to control the action of an effect, such as a compressor, on another track.

A hardware device that connects microphones, instruments, and other audio equipment to a computer, converting analog signals to digital audio information.

The number of samples of audio carried per second, measured in Hz or kHz; standard CD quality is 44.1 kHz.

Equalization; adjusting the balance between frequency components within an audio signal.

The process of applying compression with a very high ratio, effectively preventing an audio signal from exceeding a certain level.

Analog-to-Digital/Digital-to-Analog Conversion; the process of converting analog signals to digital information and vice versa.

A method of providing power through an audio interface or mixing console to condenser microphones and other equipment via the microphone cable.

The delay before a transfer of data begins following an instruction for its transfer; noticeable as delay between input and auditory feedback.

A panel with rows of sockets for routing audio through various equipment without the need to disconnect and reconnect cables every time.
