Creating sound effects by watching picture and mimicking the action, often with props that do not exactly match the action.

The nominal load impedance for a microphone indicates the optimum matching load which utilizes the mike’s characteristics to the fullest extent. Impedance is a combination of DC resistance, inductance and capacitance, which act as resistances in AC circuits. An inductive impedance increases with frequency; a capacitative impedance decreases with frequency. Either type introduces change in…

The ratio of the signal level at the output of an audio device to the signal level at its input. Expressed in decibels (db).

Musical Instrument Digital Interface. A machine protocol that allows synthesizers, computers, drum machines and other processors to communicate with and/or control one another.

Electrically combining the signals from microphones, tape, and/or reproducers and other sources.

Acoustic distortion characterized by unwanted changes between input and output at a given frequency.

Two-channel digital audio has become increasingly common as a professional master reference and for use in field recording.

The interval between two sounds having a basic frequency ratio of 2 to 1.

A computer-based recording and editing machine used for manipulating sounds.

A place in which a sound waves are canceled by reflections arriving out of phase with the wanted signal thus creating an area of silence or poor audibility.
