Clipping (audio) The altered peaks and troughs of the sine wave form displayed on this oscilloscope indicate the signal has been "clipped." Clipping is a form of waveform distortion that occurs when an amplifier is overdriven and attempts to deliver an output voltage or current beyond its maximum capability. Driving an amplifier into clipping ...
A sound effect (or audio effect) is an artificially created or enhanced sound, or sound process used to emphasize artistic or other content of films, television shows, live performance, animation, video games, music, or other media. In motion picture and television production, a sound effect is a sound recorded and presented to make a specific ...
A general-purpose throat mic used for two-way radio communications. A throat microphone, also called a laryngophone, is a type of contact microphone that absorbs vibrations directly from the wearer's throat by way of single or dual sensors worn against the neck. The sensors, called transducers, can pick up speech even in extremely noisy or ...
Virtual Studio Technology ( VST) is an audio plug-in software interface that integrates software synthesizers and effects units into digital audio workstations. VST and similar technologies use digital signal processing to simulate traditional recording studio hardware in software. Thousands of plugins exist, both commercial and freeware, and ...
Audio feedback (also known as acoustic feedback, simply as feedback) is a positive feedback situation that may occur when an acoustic path exists between an audio input (for example, a microphone or guitar pickup) and an audio output (for example, a loudspeaker ). In this example, a signal received by the microphone is amplified and passed out ...
Voicemeeter is a virtual mixing console and sound card [1] running on the Windows operating system. It allows the processing of any audio signal – whether its source is physical (microphone) or virtual (application) – and its transmission to physical audio devices and/or applications. Voicemeeter offers many useful features for audio ...
Proximity effect (audio) In the hip hop vocal style known as "beatboxing", performers take advantage of the way a closely positioned microphone boosts bass response in their vocal renditions of electric bass parts and bass drum parts. Pictured is beatboxer Sung Lee. The proximity effect in audio is an increase in bass or low frequency response ...
A pop filter, pop shield or pop screen is a noise protection filter for microphones, typically used in a recording studio. It serves to reduce or eliminate popping sounds caused by the mechanical impact of fast-moving air on the microphone from plosives during recorded speech and singing. Pop filters can also keep saliva off the microphone ...
