A flanger is an effects unit that creates ‘flanging’, an audio effect which involves mixing together two identical signals, one of them delayed by a small, gradually changing amount
Multi-track recording
Recording different audio channels to separate ‘tracks’ (one by one or simultaneously) for greater ease and effectiveness of processing than when all information is stored on a single track
Over-dubbing
Adding more recorded sounds to a previously-made recording, with the intention of enhancing it
Pitch shift
Where the original pitch of a sound is raised or lowered, often by means of an effects unit called a ‘pitch shifter’
Re-take
A new recording of a section or piece intended to replace a previous unsatisfactory one
(Studio) effects
Methods of artificially creating sounds, or of modifying or enhancing recorded sounds, through use of music technology
Track
