Heres some quirky audio jargon for you.Have a good evening! Audiophile: A person interested in sound reproduction. Boomy: Listening term, refers to an excessive bass response that has a peak(s) in it. Foley Sound Effects: Pre-recorded sounds used to enhance the soundtrack with action sounds in the final mixing process, e.g. receding footsteps, falling rain, and opening doors. Jack Foley (1891-1967) pioneered the art of adding sound effects to movie soundtracks using mechanical devices like springs (comic effect), flapping cards (machine guns), and snapping celery (bones breaking). Nowadays, Foley sound effects use modern technology to gain some or all of the same results. But like the original mechanical sounds these are pre-recorded to enhance content in movies, as well as other media. Muddy: Listening term. A sound that is poorly defined, sloppy or vague. For example, a muddy bass is often boomy with all the notes tending to run together. Zipper Noise: A rapid stepping effect that sounds like a type of distortion.
