Brooks SS 81 Aliasing

A sampler mis-recognizing a signal sent to it that is at a frequency higher than the Nyquist Frequency. Upon playback, the system will provide a signal at an incorrect frequency (called an alias frequency). Aliasing is a kind of distortion.

Imaging
To make a representation or imitation of the original sonic event.

Brooks M 44 Edit
A switch that does different things depending on the operational mode that the machine is in:
1) If a computer-controlled transport is in "Stop," pushing the "Edit" switch deactivates the computer-controlled tension system and allows the reels to be moved by hand to find the exact spot desired on the tape.
2) If the machine is in "Play", the "Edit" switch makes the take-up reel cease taking up the tape and it falls to the floor.
3) If the machine is in a fast-wind mode, the tape lifters are defeated so the tape is in contact with the reproduce head and the engineer can hear where the selections begin and end.

In-Line Console
A console with modules that have controls for all console sections in one long strip.

Brooks Cinema RM 909 Compact Disc Recordable CDR
A blank Compact Disc that can be recorded on one time.

Blending
1) A condition where two signals mix together to form one sound or to give the sound of one sound source or one performance.
2) Mixing the left and right signal together slightly which makes the instruments sound closer to the center of the performance stage. 3) A method of panning during mixing where instruments are not panned extremely left or right.

Linearity
The extent to which any signal handling process is accomplished without amplitude distortion.

Linear
The condition of obtaining a change at the output of the device which is proportional to the change occurring at the input.
