Glossary
Terms as this publication uses them. Where usage differs between DAWs or between disciplines, the difference is stated rather than smoothed over.
- Collect All and Save
- The Live command that copies every referenced sample into the project folder. The single step that decides whether a session opens on another machine.
- Round-robin
- Cycling through several recordings of the same note so repeats do not sound identical. Random selection can repeat; cyclic selection cannot.
- Pre-delay
- The gap between a dry signal and the first reflections of a reverb. Long enough and the transient stays clear; too long and the effect detaches.
- Room mode
- A standing wave at a frequency whose wavelength fits a dimension of the room, making some notes far louder in some positions than others.
