Basic Recording Concepts Flashcards
1
Q
Define frequency
A
Complete number of cycles a waveform makes per second
2
Q
What is frequency measured in?
A
Hz
3
Q
How do you calculate frequency given the cycles per sec?
A
1 cycle per sec = 1 Hz
Ex) 2 cycles per sec = 2 HZ

2. Volume
8
Q
The amount of “peaks and valleys” in a waveform determine…
