Before you start to edit a song, there is music terms you might want to know. “Audio” is a computerized sound recording, such as on a CD, or an mp3 file. It is different from an analog recording, such as a casette tape. “Midi” is a computer technology which allows music information; such as notes, volume, tempo, and pitch bending to be stored in a file, or sent from one midi device to another midi device (such as from your midi keyboard into your computer). Midi doesn’t contain any actual sounds, so it must be processed through a device (or program) which interprets the Midi data, and uses it to generate audio. “Audio & Midi Sequencers” is software which is designed to create, record, and edit music. “Audio Analysis” means methods of analyzing an audio signal, such as a spectrum analyzer, which displays the intensity of the various frequencies from which the audio signal is composed. “Audio Editor” is software which specifically allows you to finely edit and process an audio file, such as with equalizer, or various effects. “CD Ripper” is software which extracts audio tracks from a CD. “CD Burner” is software which saves audio tracks TO a CD, in such a way that it can be played on a CD player. “File Encoders” is software which takes, for example, a ‘.wav’ file, and compresses it into a smaller, but usually slightly lower quality file, such as an ‘.mp3′, or a ‘.wma’.”DJ Software” is software which is usually designed to emulate DJ hardware, with features such as track mixing, or possibly ’scratching’. “Effects Processors” is software which allows the hosting, or chaining of effects, such as VST’s.
