Polarity + Phase
General – but it can be (Typically in from Multi Mic Recording) that the Polarity Reference is Not the Same and then the 2 Signals are “Out of Phase”, and in Below Image the Polarities are Even Totally Opposite which Results in No Sound at All Little Polarity History – Remember if You Play back…

Pre Fader vs Post Fader Sends
General – Pre / Post Option Defines where a Send will Split Off from the Track Signal – i.e. Pre Fader means Before the Channel Fader and Post Fader After the Channel Fader – Do Not Mix Pre / Post in a Mix Session, i.e.either Go with Pre or with Post to Avoid go in…

Q Factor (Equaliser)
General – “Q” (Quality) Factor Controls the Bandwidth, i.e. Number Frequencies that will be Cut or Boosted by an Equaliser – the Lower the “Q” the Wider the Bandwidth, thus More Frequencies are Affected – the Higher the “Q” the Narrower the Bandwidth, thus Less Frequencies are Affected – Most Equalizer have in Theory a…

Reflections and Room Modes
General – when Sound-Waves Meet a Room Boundary (such as a Wall), 3 Things Happen – Sound-Wave will be Absorbed, Transmitted or Reflected Absorbed – Waves Lose Energy, typically at Higher Frequencies – a Proper Absorption is Good, but Too Much Absorbers can Deaden the Space Transmitted – the Waves Pass Through a Room Boundary…

RT 60
– The Length of the Reverb Tail, the Time it takes for the Reverb to Decay to a Level 60dB Lower that the Original Level – Often seen in Reverbs but also relevant for Measurements of Rooms etc. – Describes the necessary Time it takes, until a Test Tone “Lands” in the “Diffuse- Field” by…

Samples per Beat
General Example 1 1) Since 1 Beat is 60, we need to Divide 60 / 120 2) Since SR is 44100 we Need to Multiply that 0.5 by 44100 – 44100 x 0.5 = 22050 Samples per Beat Example 2 1) Since 1 Beat is 60, we need to Divide 60 / 103 2) Since…
