Adobe Audition
● Mixed down
o Combine all the output of all the enable tracks
● Limiter
o Limits the amount of sound in the output
● Non Distractive Audio Editing
o Just changes in the clip not in the file
● Normalization
o It is true that normalization adjusts the highest peak of the wave form
to a certain percentage thereby raising or lowering all peaks
accordingly.

Sample Rate Effect


● Snap shot of a waving form
● Double the frequency
● Determines what frequency wave can occur

Bus
● Common connection between several tracks.

Low pass filter


● Lower frequency surpass

High frequency pass


● Higher frequency surpass

Band Pass filter


● Allows a range of frequency to pass but not others

AIFF file
● Apple Standard wav File
● Works on Mac
● Stereo/mono – it depends

ASDR
● Attack (first part of sound you hear)
● Sustain
● Decay
● Relief
Automation
● When you automate something, remembers changes you made in the system
● Example: Changing of volume, panning

Audio File Format


● Writing the data to disc
● File format for the audio
● Way we write audio to the hard drive

Clipping
 Volume getting louder
 Results in distortion of the signal, which can result in damaging the input of
the audio device
Codecs
 .wav
 .mp3

Decoding
● Obsolete coding for closing the information

Compression
● Reduces the dynamic range of the signal
● Can be useful in compensating the signal

Editing)

Midi
 Acronym for Musical Instrument Digital Interface
 Is way of communicating between musical instruments and computers
 Example: Transcribing a music sheet for a piano
