An Introduction to Recording Your Own CD

Glossary

24-bit

The data format for professional-quality digital recording and playback. 24-bit

recordings faithfully capture and reproduce even the most subtle nuances in audio.

Audio

Another word for “sound.”

Automix

Automix, or “Auto-Mix,” is the name of Roland’s automated mixing system. It

records and plays back changes in your mix, such as fader movements. Automix

makes it easy to create the perfect mix since it remembers everything for you.

Back up

To “back up” is to make an external copy of your data, called a “backup.” A backup

contains all of a song’s recordings, its settings and any materials you need if you

want to Undo something later on.

Bouncing

Bouncing is the recording of tracks onto another track or pair of tracks. Most often,

this is done to combine a greater number of tracks into fewer tracks.

Burn

“Burn” is music industry slang for writing data onto a CD.

CD-R, CD-RW discs

CD-Recordable (“CD-R”) and CD-ReWritable (“CD-RW”) discs. You can write

unerasable data one time onto a CD-R. A CD-RW can be reused—you can erase it

and write new data onto it. Both types can be played as many times as you wish.

CD-R/RW drive

A CD-R/RW drive is a device that can burn audio onto CD-R or CD-RW discs.

CD Track Marker

A bookmark that pinpoints the beginning of each selection—for example, each

song—on an audio CD.

Channel

A channel is a set of tools for controlling and shaping an audio signal.

Compressor

A device that reduces the loudness of audio exceeding a speciﬁed volume. A com-

pressor can smooth out a recording by controlling excessive volume changes.
