Time it takes for processor to react to a single above threshold
attack time
The range of frequencies around the center frequency of an equalizing filter that will be affected
bandwith
A dynamic processor that makes loud sounds softer and soft sounds louder
compressor
A compressor that reacts to a selected range of frequencies usually used to reduce the sibilant frequency of a vocal
De-esser
A processor that allows for the internal altering of the frequency characteristics of an audio signal
equalizer
A processor that allows for the increase of the dynamic range of the audio signal that is being processed
expanders
A transistor where the voltage varies the size of the signal stream and enhances even order harmonics
field effect transistor FET
The Parameter on a compressor to increase the output of the unit after dynamic reduction has been applied
makeup gain
A processor designed to reduce the noise floor in an audio signal
gate/noise gate
The parameter on a gate that determines how long the gate is held open before the onset of the attenuation begins
hold
Additional input back into a gate that is used to control when the gate opens
key input
A premature on a compressor that determines when the compressor starts working
knee
A compressor with a medium attack time, a medium to slow release time, a high ratio setting, and low threshold
leveling amplifier
A compressor that has a fast attack time a medium to fast release time with a high ratio setting usually 10:1 and higher and a high threshold
peak limiter
A property/effect created by a compressor when the setting are such that you detect a sudden and usually unwanted deep gain reduction by the compressor
pumping
A premature on a date that determines the amount of attenuation when the gate is closed
range
A parameter on a dynamic processor that sets the relationship between input and output levels
ratio
A parameter that determines how long the compressor will take to return to normal after compression
release (compressor)
A premature that sets you know of time it takes for the gate to close once the whole time has elapsed
release (gate)
And additional input into a compressor that is used to control when the compressor changes from a unity gain amplifier to a compressor
sidechain
A parameter I dynamic processor that determines when the processor begins the work
threshold
The cancellation and/or reinforcement at different frequencies which is dependent on the amount patient/delay
comb filtering
A process for digitally simulating the reverberation of a physical war control space this process is based on the mathematical operation that uses a prerecorded audio sample of the impulse of the space being modeled
convolution reverb
A device that delays a signal emulating reflections or echoes
delays
The length of time between the original signal and when the initial repeat is heard
delay time
A parameter that determines the distance the reputed delay time drifts away from the original delay time
depth
A parameter on a reverb that emulates objects within a room
diffusion
A parameter setting in a reverb that allows the user to control the reflections of sound off of nearby surfaces
early reflections
A setting on a delay unit that allows for the delayed signal to return to the input of the unit just reading a controlled feedback loop
feedback
A parameter that sets the time between the original signal and when the reverb begins
pre-delay
A parameter on a reverb that emulates the first reflections of nearby boundaries
pre-echo
A device that emulates the decay of sound or acoustic energy in a room or space
reverbs
A parameter on a reverb that determines the length of time it takes for sound workers sick energy to decay within a space
reverb time
A parameter on a delay that determines the speed at which the delay time shifts from the original time to the full depth time
speed
The amplitude modulation of a sound as in synthesis and certain guitar or keyboard amps this effect is not the same as vibrato which deals with frequency modulation
