440 Glossary
resonance A term generally associated with filters, particularly those of synthesizers.
Resonance emphasizes the frequency range surrounding the cutoff frequency. See
cutoff frequency.
reverb Reverb(eration) is the sound of a physical space. More specifically, the
reflections of soundwaves within a space. As an example, a hand clap in a cathedral will
reverberate for a long time as sound waves bounce off the stone surfaces within a very
large space. A hand clap in a broom closet will hardly reverberate at all. This is because
the time it takes for the soundwaves to reach the walls and bounce back to your ears is
very short, so the reverb effect will probably not even be heard.
ReWire An audio streaming and synchronization technology from Propellerhead
software. The output of ReWired applications can be routed into (and processed with)
the Logic Express Mixer. Logic Express can also control the transport operations of
ReWired programs. Further to these functions, Logic Express instrument tracks can
drive the software instruments of ReWire applications.
ritardando A gradual slowdown of tempo (see tempo).
routing Generally refers to the way audio is sent through processing units. Also often
used to describe specific input and output assignments.
rubber band selection Technique for selecting consecutive regions, objects, or events
by click-holding and dragging the mouse cursor around the desired items. A rubber
band selection envelope (an outline) will expand from the starting position of the
mouse cursor. All objects touched or enclosed by the rubber band selection envelope
will be selected.
sample A digital recording of a sound at a particular instant in time.
sampler Device used for sampling. In Logic Express, this generally refers to the
EXS24 mkII software-based sampler.
sample rate When an analog audio signal is converted to a digital signal, this term
refers to the number of times per second the audio file is sampled.
sample rate converter Device or algorithm that translates one sample rate to another.
sampling The process of converting analog audio into digital information. The sample
rate of an audio stream specifies the number of samples that are captured per second
(see sample rate). Higher sample rates yield higher quality audio.
saturation A term most commonly associated with a slight tape distortion or the
characteristics of tube amplifiers. It basically describes a very high gain level that causes
a slight distortion of the incoming signal, resulting in a warm, rounded sound.
