Distortion is...
making a sound louder
Putting a sound in a different space or room
Putting a sound in different speakers
Turning gain up too high so the sound goes 'spiky'
A noise gate...
When a sound goes wobbly
Removes high frequencies, only letting low frequencies through
Makes everything the same volume by squashing the loud sounds and raising the quiet sounds
Cuts out quiet sounds
Removes low frequencies, only letting high ones through
A Hi-Pass filter (HPF)....
When a sound goes wobbly
Removes high frequencies, only letting low frequencies through

Delay/ echo is...
When a sound moves to the left or right speaker
When a sound gets quieter

Digital reverb
uses lots of different delays to
stop the music
uses one delay to
mirror the reflections of a sound in a room
uses lots of different delays to
mirror the reflections of a sound in a room
was first used in the 1950's
Distortion is created by
turning the reverb of a sound up too far.
turning the volume of a sound down too low.
turning the volume of a sound up too loud.
keeping the volume the same level
Resonance is when the
frequencies around the high frequency are boosted.
frequencies around the cut off frequency are boosted.
frequencies around the low frequency are boosted.
frequencies around the band pass frequency are boosted.
The sine wave is the purest of all
waves. It has a smooth even curve
up and down. It only has the
fundamental frequency and no
harmonics.
