Audio Production

This is the term used to describe the relationship between two or more waveforms

• Phase

• Square

• Sawtooth

• Sine

When two waveforms have the exact same starting point they are considered to be

• Out of Phase

• Phase Shifted

• In phase

• frequency shift

These are partial frequencies that are whole multiples of the fundamental frequency.

• Harmonic content

• phased sound

• complex waveforms

• simple waveforms

Partials that fall above the fundamental frequency are called

• Underbones

• Overtones

• Tonal Frequency

• Harmonic Tones

This describes characteristics variations in a level that occurs over the duration of the sound

• Attack

• Decay

• Sustain

• Envelope

This refers to the duration of the ongoing sound that is generated following the attack and decay

• Envelope

• Release

• Sustain

• Attack

This describes how quickly sound drops to a sustain level after the initial attack peak

• Transients

• Envelope

• Sustain

• Decay

This is the name for the time it takes for a sound to build up to its full amplitude when sound initiates

• Attack

• Sustain

• Decay

• Transient

This is the name for the part of an envelop once the sound falls below 0 db. SPL and cannot be heard

• Envelop

• Release

• Sustain

• Attack

This is a mathematical function that reduces large numerical values into smaller manageable numbers

• Exponents

• db. SPL

• decibels

• logarithm
