A technique to reduce quantization noise in digital audio by adding noise before quantization.

Noise that occurs when reducing bit depth in digital recordings, leading to rough audio.

Software/hardware designed to eliminate electrical hum (60 Hz) from recordings.

Tools that target and reduce high-frequency hiss in audio recordings.

A technique dividing audio into frequency bands for tailored noise reduction.

Using simple language to explain complex concepts or terms.

A low, consistent noise typical of electrical interference, often at 60 Hz.

Ensure every line in audio conveys a clear message without ambiguity.

An advanced method to visualize and manually remove noise in audio using a spectral display.

High-frequency noise found in older analog recordings, often undesirable.

Reiterating important points to reinforce the message in audio formats.

Structuring a script to guide listeners through content smoothly.

Clearly marking changes in topics or scenes within the audio script.

Writing scripts that include pauses for emphasis and comprehension.

Incorporating sound effects, music, and noise into the audio for enhancement.

Ensuring that sound effects complement rather than overwhelm the spoken word.

A constant sound that sounds like a 'hiss' or static, often generated by electronic devices.

While it masks unwanted sounds, it reduces recording clarity.

Similar to white noise but less intense at higher frequencies, providing a balanced sound.

Commonly used to test audio systems, mimicking natural sound distribution.

A low-frequency noise (50-60 Hz) like a constant droning sound, often from electrical interference.

Caused by grounding issues, AC power interference, or proximity to electronic devices.

Severely disrupts recording quality, especially in quiet parts.

A high-frequency noise resembling static or escaping air, often in quiet recordings.

The difference between actual analog amplitude and the nearest digital value.

The number of discrete amplitude levels in a digital audio system.

The difference between the softest and loudest sounds in audio.

Can lead to noticeable quantization noise and limited dynamic range.

Reduces quantization noise and allows for better representation of quiet sounds.

Audio format providing a dynamic range of about 144 dB.

Incorporate auditory elements to enhance the setting in scripts, such as footsteps, nature sounds, and background noises.

Simplifying complex topics by dividing them into smaller, manageable parts for easier understanding.

Draw parallels between unfamiliar concepts and known experiences to aid understanding.

Organize information in clear, sequential formats to improve clarity and retention of steps.

Use descriptive words that appeal to the senses to create vivid imagery for the audience.

Match tone, pacing, and word choice to the emotional context of the scene to engage the audience.

Indicate where sound effects or music belong in the script, using specific formatting for clarity.

Provide specific instructions for tone and pacing to ensure accurate delivery of lines by voice actors.

A device that reduces the volume of loud sounds to prevent distortion.

A tool that prevents audio from exceeding a set volume level.

The process of directing audio signals to different output destinations.

Combining multiple audio channels into a single output for easier control.

Multiple audio sources combined to process as a single unit.

Temporarily silences a channel without affecting others.

Isolates a specific channel for focused listening.

Controls the overall volume of the final mix sent to output.
