What is a Perforated Absorber? A perforated absorber is a type of acoustic panel designed to absorb sound waves by allowing them to pass through small holes or perforations in the panel. These panels are commonly used in environments where noise reduction and sound control are important, such as recording studios, theaters, offices, and classrooms. … Read more
What is Polarity Inversion? Polarity inversion, also known as phase inversion or polarity flip, is a technique used in audio recording and production to reverse the polarity of an audio signal. This means that the positive and negative parts of the waveform are switched, resulting in a signal that is 180 degrees out of phase … Read more
What is Transient Shaping? Transient shaping is a technique used in audio processing to manipulate the attack and decay characteristics of sound signals. By adjusting the transients of a sound, engineers can control the sharpness or softness of the initial attack and the sustain of a sound. This process allows for greater control over the … Read more
What is MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface)? MIDI, which stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is a technical standard that allows electronic musical instruments, computers, and other devices to communicate with each other. It was first introduced in the early 1980s as a way to standardize the communication between different types of musical equipment. MIDI … Read more
I. What is Bit Depth? Bit depth refers to the number of bits of information used to represent each sample in a digital audio file. In simpler terms, it is the measurement of the resolution or precision of the audio data. The higher the bit depth, the more accurately the audio can be represented. Common … Read more
What is Mid-Side (MS) Stereo? Mid-Side (MS) Stereo is a recording technique used in audio engineering to capture a stereo image of a sound source. Unlike traditional stereo recording methods that use two separate microphones to capture the left and right channels, MS Stereo uses a single microphone with two capsules – one facing forward … Read more
What is Clip Gain? Clip Gain refers to the process of adjusting the volume level of individual audio clips or segments within a recording. This allows for precise control over the volume of specific sections of audio, without affecting the overall volume of the entire track. Clip Gain is commonly used in audio editing and … Read more
What is a stereo microphone? A stereo microphone is a type of microphone that is designed to capture audio in a way that mimics the way humans hear sound in the real world. By using two or more microphone capsules, a stereo microphone is able to capture the spatial characteristics of sound, such as directionality … Read more
What is a Small Diaphragm Condenser? A small diaphragm condenser microphone is a type of microphone that uses a small diaphragm to capture sound. It is typically used in recording studios, live sound reinforcement, and broadcasting due to its ability to capture detailed and accurate sound. Small diaphragm condensers are known for their sensitivity and … Read more
