What is the effect in sound? Features and terms used in Effect

In the adjustment and processing of sound on professional karaoke or stage, we often hear about Effect. So what is Effect in sound? What are the features and terms used in Effect? Check out the article below!

What is the effect in sound?

Effect is a sound effects generator that helps you create better and more professional sounds. This device produces effects such as echo (reverberation), delay (repeat), reverb (echo), chorus (chorus) and possibly many more.

Terms commonly used in the Effect . sound set

Reverb

Reverb means reverberation. The reverb effect is the echo of the sound (like you say in a closed room or a cave) the sound, after encountering an obstacle, will reflect the sound and appear as an echo.

Delay Time

Delay time is the time interval between the live sound and its first repeat from the delay, which is how fast or slow the echo is .

This is the time interval between multiple echoes (echos). You can set how long you want and it measures in beats per minute (BPM) or milliseconds. Commonly used values are 150ms to 300ms.

Snapback delay

Although very similar to echo, it repeats a bit long, about 120 milliseconds between repetitions. So the sound will be more defined.

Modulation Effects and LFO

A modulation effect is any effect that changes the sound directly , be it depth, more or less reverberation, heavy or soft. Use delay to change the pitch of live audio. It is usually possible to set DRY (original sound without echo) to 100% and WET (processed audio with echo) to 70%.

Some modulation effects use LFO (low frequency oscillator) to produce low frequencies. LFOs typically apply slow variable delay, change the pitch, and create a chorus when the live sound combines with its duplicate delay.

delay

Delay has the effect of creating discrete echo , it is abbreviated as DDL. When the audio signal is fed to the delay device, it will hold the signal to slow down a bit and then send itself back. You just get the same signal over and over again until it disappears completely.
