Linear Phase In its essence, a linear phase is a property of a filter, where the phase response of the filter is a linear function of frequency. The result is that all frequency components of the input signal are shifted in time (usually delayed) by the...
Limiters are employed mostly for a single purpose: to limit the output of a signal in a way that prevents undesirable distortion and excessive peaks while, when used correctly, preserving the overall balance and color of a mix. This reduces the dynamic range of a...
Frequency range Equalizers are in most cases described to the reference of what is called a “flat response curve”. This means that system or a piece of equipment responds equally to all frequencies within the specific range. This range is usually set to 20 Hz...
As the name suggests, Parametric Equalizer helps to edit different parameters of an audio spectrum. It has three main parameters: gain (amplitude), center frequency and bandwidth (inverse of ‘Q’). Unlike Graphic equalizer, it has variable center frequency. This...
Loudness, by definition, is a subjective perception of volume. Since the 1980s, the concept of “Loudness Wars” has been raging. Record labels have pressured engineers to make louder and louder masters. On the other hand, because of a number of factors, the...
