2. Loudness war - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudness_war

   Different releases of ABBA 's 1980 song " Super Trouper " show different levels of loudness compared to the original 1980 release. The loudness war (or loudness race) is a trend of increasing audio levels in recorded music, which reduces audio fidelity and—according to many critics—listener enjoyment. Increasing loudness was first reported ...

3. Audio time stretching and pitch scaling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_time_stretching_and...

   Time stretching is the process of changing the speed or duration of an audio signal without affecting its pitch. Pitch scaling is the opposite: the process of changing the pitch without affecting the speed. Pitch shift is pitch scaling implemented in an effects unit and intended for live performance. Pitch control is a simpler process which ...

4. Shepard tone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shepard_tone

   Shepard tone. A spectrogram of ascending Shepard tones on a linear frequency scale. A Shepard tone, named after Roger Shepard, is a sound consisting of a superposition of sine waves separated by octaves. When played with the bass pitch of the tone moving upward or downward, it is referred to as the Shepard scale.

5. Dynamics (music) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamics_(music)

   In music, the dynamics of a piece are the variation in loudness between notes or phrases.Dynamics are indicated by specific musical notation, often in some detail.However, dynamics markings require interpretation by the performer depending on the musical context: a specific marking may correspond to a different volume between pieces or even sections of one piece.

6. Dynamic range compression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_range_compression

   Dynamic range compression. This article is about a process that intentionally reduces the dynamic range of audio signals. For similar reductions caused by circuit imperfections, see Gain compression. For processes that reduce the size of digital audio files, see Audio compression (data). A rack of audio compressors in a recording studio.

7. Surface-area-to-volume ratio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface-area-to-volume_ratio

   The surface-area-to-volume ratio has physical dimension inverse length (L −1) and is therefore expressed in units of inverse metre (m -1) or its prefixed unit multiples and submultiples. As an example, a cube with sides of length 1 cm will have a surface area of 6 cm 2 and a volume of 1 cm 3. The surface to volume ratio for this cube is thus.

8. Audio bit depth - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_bit_depth

   Audio bit depth. An analog signal (in red) encoded to 4-bit PCM digital samples (in blue); the bit depth is four, so each sample's amplitude is one of 16 possible values. In digital audio using pulse-code modulation (PCM), bit depth is the number of bits of information in each sample, and it directly corresponds to the resolution of each sample.

9. Doppler effect - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_effect

   The Doppler effect (also Doppler shift) is the change in the frequency of a wave in relation to an observer who is moving relative to the source of the wave. [1][2][3] The Doppler effect is named after the physicist Christian Doppler, who described the phenomenon in 1842. A common example of Doppler shift is the change of pitch heard when a ...
