Front

A balanced audio connector used primarily for microphones.

Back

Pan

Front

The spatial placement (typically right or left) of a specific channel or track in a mix.

Back

Playhead

Front

An indicator of place in musical or clock time within a GarageBand (or similar DAW) project. This indicator shows where playback will begin, where a split will be placed, and where pasted regions will appear.

Back

Digital Audio Workstation (DAW)

Front

Software that organizes, mixes, and edits audio regions to create complete recordings out of audio files.

Back

Beat

Front

A recurring pulse (or any recurring event) that is the basis of musical time.

Back

Unbalanced Cables

Front

Cables with two wires (positive and ground) that are designed for short distance runs and specific applications, but are not ideal for long-distance cable runs since they pick up a lot of interference. Typical use: electric guitars.

Back

Rhythm

Front

A musical pattern that is a combination of musical events (notes or sounds) and rests. This is usually perceived in relation to the beat or subdivisions of the beat.

Back

TS (Tip Sleeve)

Back

Speakon

A type of connector typically used for passive speaker connections.

Back

Gain

Front

The input level of a sound or the amount that a sound is boosted at the preamplification stage in signal flow. In audio editing or mixing, the level of a sound before it is mixed at the fader.

Back

TRS (Tip Ring Sleeve)

Front

A balanced 1/4 inch audio connector OR an unbalanced 1/4 or 1/8 inch stereo audio connector.

Back

Equalization

Front

The process of selectively boosting or reducing specific frequency ranges to change the quality of sound of a recorded track or live instrument.

Back

Beat Map

Front

A grid of musical events, with each column representing a different beat or subdivision, and each row representing a different musical sound (often percussion or drums).

Back

Waveform

Front

A visual depiction of sound based on varying measurements of sound pressure. Essentially a map of the varying volume levels of a sounds over time.

Back

20hz-20kHz

Front

The theoretical frequency range of human hearing (low to high).

Back

Beat Sequencer

Front

In GarageBand (or other kinds of music production software), an instrument that lets you create drum patterns by editing "steps" in a sequencer grid with looping playback.

Back

Melody

Front

A single line or voice of varied musical pitches and rhythms, often with a clear phrase structure and often the most prominent and clear idea of a musical composition.

Back

Piano Roll

Front

A display of musical events in a DAW (like GarageBand) where the X axis represents time (often musical time in beats and measures) and the Y axis represents pitch or different sounds mapped according to the keys on a piano or keyboard.

Back

Subdivision (of the beat)

Front

A fraction of a beat, typically dividing the beat into two, three, or four parts.

Back

Harmony

Front

The combination of simultaneously sounding notes (pitches) to create underlying musical forms or structures or to enhance the musical texture of a single voice.

Back

Chord Quality

Front

The varied emotional characteristics of a chord based on different combinations of notes or intervals. The most common chord qualities are: Major, Minor, Diminished, and Augmented.

Back

Balanced Cables

Front

Cables with three wires (positive, negative, and ground) in addition to shielding that are ideal for long-distance cable runs since they do not pick up much interference. Typical use: microphones.

Back

Fader

Front

The mechanical slider on a physical mixer or digital slider on a DAW or digital mixer that controls the output level of one track or channel in a mix.

Back

Analog Cables

Front

Cables that transmit audio signal and electricity. Examples: XLR, Instrument Cables, Speaker Cables.

Back

Digital Cables

Front

Cables that transmit data which must be interpreted by a computer (not audio signal). Examples: MIDI, USB, FireWire, HDMI.

Back

Musical Time

Front

A description of the passing of time using subdivisions, beats, measures, and phrases or sections.

Back

Harmonic Rhythm

Front

Back

Front

A harmonic structure containing three or more notes sounding simultaneously.
