18. Slovar izrazov

AAC

Advanced Audio Coding

A patented audio compression algorithm which uses a form of lossy data compression. Designed to be the successor to MP3, AAC generally achieves better sound quality at similar bit rates. While the .aac extension is sometimes used for AAC-encoded files, they are typically saved with an .m4a file extension.

AcoustID

Akustični prstni odtis, ki je bil popolnoma zgrajen na odprtokodni tehnologiji. Namen je ustvarjanje prosto dostopne baze podatkov z zvočnimi prstnimi odtisi, ki jih posredujejo uporabniki in ki so mapirani s podatkovno bazo MusicBrainz metapodatkov in omogočajo spletni servis za identifikacijo zvoka. Za več informaciji glej:https://acoustid.org/.

AIFF

Audio Interchange File Format

High-quality digital audio file format, similar to .wav files. Contains CD quality audio stored in a non-compressed, lossless format. AIFF files generally end with a .aiff or .aif extension.

ALAC

Apple Lossless Audio Codec

A lossless audio file format used by iTunes and other Apple products. ALAC files use the same MP4 container format as AAC and use the same file extensions (m4a, mp4). Mixxx and many other programs are not compatible with ALAC. It is recommended to convert ALAC files to FLAC for use in Mixxx.

API

Application Program Interface

An API is a specification and set of rules for how software programs interact with each other. In Mixxx, an example of this is the Sound API that Mixxx uses to communicate with the operating system to make use of the soundcards connected to the computer.

ASIO

Audio Stream Input/Output

ASIO is a low-latency audio interface API on Microsoft Windows.

bitna hitrost

Describe the quality of an audio or video file. For audio data the bitrate is commonly measured in kbps. For example, an MP3 audio file that is compressed at 192 Kbps will have a greater dynamic range and may sound slightly more clear than the same audio file compressed at 128 Kbps.

BPM

Beats per minute

BPM is used as a measure of tempo in music. If you tap your foot to music you are following the “beat”. If you count how many taps you do in a minute you have calculated the BPM.

brez izgub

Used when describing audio compression algorithms, a lossless algorithm is one which results in no loss in audio quality when used.

CDJ

CDJ is a term originally used to describe a line of CD players from Pioneer Electronics. Today CDJ generally refers to DJ CD players that work like a record player. They allow analog control of music using CDs, usually using a touch sensitive emulated vinyl control surface.

cue izotčnica

cue point

A reference point in the track usually placed on the position the DJ wants the track to start at by default. This is useful to instantly jump to that point without seeking through the track.

cue marker

A catch-all term used in mixxx to refer to the cue point, hotcues and intro and outro cues.

časovna koda

Used here in conjunction with vinyl control. A special audio signal on a control vinyl or control CD (timecode media) that a computer can listen to in order to determine speed, direction and position of the playback.

DAW

Digital Audio Workstation

An electronic device or application software used for recording, editing and producing audio files.

decibel

A Decibel is a logarithmic measurement of sound level. Whispering is around 25 dB while unbearable sound such as a jet engine is around 160 db. Rule of thumb: A volume increase of 10 dB is perceived as twice as loud.

direct monitoring

A feature of many soundcards that allows microphones and other input signals to be heard through the soundcard outputs with no perceivable latency. With direct monitoring, the audio interface mixes the input signal in hardware with the output signal from Mixxx. This bypasses the latency of sending the signal into the computer for Mixxx to process and sending it back out to the soundcard.

DRM

Digital Rights Management (DRM) technologies attempt to control what you can and can’t do with the media and hardware you’ve purchased. Typically, a DRM system either encrypts the data so that it can only be accessed in a way authorized by copyright holders or marks content with a digital watermark or similar method so that the content can not be freely distributed. For information about how you can get involved in activism against DRM, see Defective by Design.

Equalizer

An equalizer allows the sound in specified frequency bands to be amplified or reduced, in order to adjust the quality and character of the sound.

A simple graphic equalizer consists of multiple controls for boosting or cutting bands or frequencies of sound.

A parametric equalizer controls more parameters of the sound than a graphic equalizer. It can control three aspects of each frequency: level (boost or cut), the center or primary frequency, and the bandwidth or range of each frequency.

faza

Faza skladbe je njen relativni položaj glede na drugo skladbo. Če sta dve skladbi sinhonizirani na enak tempo in sta v fazi, bi se morali predvajati tako, da bi njuna ritma morala biti poravanana.

gumb slušalke

Gumb slušalk prikazuje ali v slušalkah predposlušate predvajalnik ali vzorčevalnik.

gumb slušalke/miks

The head/mix button is used to control how much you mix the main output into your headphone output. This can be very useful when cueing a track, because you can test out how it sounds when mixed with the main mix in your headphones, before letting the audience hear the track.

HID

Human Interface Device

A part of the USB specification. It specifies a device class (a type of computer hardware) for human interface devices such as keyboards, mice, game controllers, and some DJ controllers.

hitro previjanje nazaj

The opposite of fast-forward. If you press the fast-rewind button the audio will play in reverse with increased speed as long as the button is pressed.

hitro-previjanje

To cause something to advance at quicker than normal speed. In terms of audio software that means if you press the fast-forward button the audio will play with increased speed as long as the button is pressed. This is useful to seek through a track.

hotcue iztočnica

Similar to the main cue point, a hotcue is a reference point in the track. DJs usually place hotcues at distinctive positions within a track such as drops, breaks or kicks and snares. Mixxx supports up to 36 hotcues.

HSV

HSV stands for hue, saturation, and value, and is also often called HSB (B for brightness). The HSV Color Model represents color in a way more suited to the human perception of color. For example, the relationships “stronger than”, “darker than”, and “the opposite of” are easily expressed in HSV. In contrast, the representation of the hardware-oriented RGB model is close to what most monitors show.

icecast

Icecast is free and open-source software that allows digital audio content to be broadcast to and from media player software, enabling the creation of Internet radio stations. Unlike Shoutcast, the software provides the ability to stream in free file formats like Ogg Vorbis and run your own directory server.

kontroler

An external hardware device that generates and transmits signals to a computer, usually via USB, to control software with physical controls other than a mouse and keyboard. Controllers have many uses for music such as controlling DJ programs like Mixxx. They typically send MIDI signals but some controllers use HID signals. Many DJs prefer to control DJ software using physical knobs, faders, and wheels on controllers instead of using a computer keyboard and mouse.

main output

glavni master izhod

The main output is sent to the big speakers. It’s what your audience hears. Please note that the term „master output“ has been used historically but is in the process of being phased out. Prefer using „main output“.

merilnik nivojev

The level meter is used to show the average levels of audio signals. The level should average around the top of the green region, with the loudest parts of the music (the transients) briefly going into the yellow region. If the level meter is in the red, the signal is clipping and the gain should be turned down.

metapodatki

Na splošno je to katerikoli podatek o glasbeni datoteki, ki jo Mixxx uporablja (npr. naslov, izvajalec, album, hotcue iztočnice, zanke, …) Mnogi formati metapodatkov omgočajo, da se podatki, kot so naslov, izvajalec, album in zaporedna številka skladbe shranijo v datoteko samo. Glej https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ID3 . Mixxx dodatne metapodatke o glasbi shranjuje v podatkovni bazi. Tu shranjuje npr. ritmično mrežo, podatke o valovni obliki, hotcue iztočnice, sezname predvajanje, zaboje, število predvajanj, itd.

predvajalnik

A deck is like a virtual vinyl turntable. You can load a track into it and play the track, just like you would put a record on turntable and play it.

pregibanje višine

Tehnika uporabljena pri didžejanju, ki začasno spremeni hitrost skladbe, ponavadi ko držimo gumb. Ta tehnika je ponavadi namenjena mikro-popravkom sinhronizacije skladb, ko izenačujemo njihov ritem. Pred digitalnim didžejanjem se je to delalo s pritiskom prsta na gramofonsko ploščo, da se jo je upočasnilo ali s stiskanjem sredinskega vstavka, da se jo je pospešilo.

pregled valovne oblike

The waveform overview shows the waveform envelope of the entire track, and is useful because they allow DJs to see breakdowns far in advance.

preglednica cue izotčnic

A cue sheet (or CUE file, CUE sheet, etc.) is a formatted plain text file which is used to provide index information for a large audio file. For example, it can be used to tell software extra details about the layout of a CD to burn.

ReplayGain

ReplayGain normalizes audio data in a non-destructive way, so the tracks in your music library don’t all play at different volumes. Audio files are scanned by a psychoacoustic algorithm to determine the loudness of the audio data. ReplayGain information is stored as metadata in a digital audio file in order for the sound to be correctly played at the right level of loudness.

RGB

The RGB color model is an additive color model in which red, green, and blue light are added together in various ways to reproduce a broad array of colors. The name of the model comes from the initials of the three additive primary colors, red, green, and blue.

spreminjajoče pregibanje višine

V osnovi gre za isto stvar, kot pri pregibanju višine, s to razliko, da se višina in hitrost spremenita postopoma in ne takoj. Pogosto se uporablja za začasno spreminjanje višine in hitrosti. Oponaša učinek dotikanja gramofona, da bi ga začasno upočasnili ali pohitrili.

stikalo ‚izniči‘

Gumb za vklop ali izklop posameznih frekvenčnih razponov v posameznem kanalu. To so visoki, srednji in nizki toni. Uporabno za efekt, ko DJ neko skladbo za trenutek vrže ven in ustvari prostor za prehod.

stopnja

Hitrost s katero se sladba predvaja, ponavadi izraženo v procentih hitrosti relativno na normalno hitrost skladbe. Pogosto med miksanjem didžeji prilagodijo hitrost skladb, tako da se predvajajo z enako hitrostjo, kot druge. To omogoča didžejem da miksajo na ritem, kar je osnovni tehnika didžejanja.

sync lock

Glavna sinhronizacija

Sync lock mode persistently adjusts a track’s tempo and phase (if quantization is enabled) in order to stay in sync with other decks that are in sync lock mode.

USB

Universal Serial Bus

USB is an industry standard for cables, connectors and protocols and used for lots of consumer hardware. If an audio interface is „USB class compliant“, this means it can be used on all major operating systems without special drivers (on Windows, special drivers might still be necessary to use the ASIO sound API though).

vzvratno

Reverse plays a track backwards.

WAV

Standard digital audio file format used for storing waveform data; allows audio recordings to be saved with different sampling rates and bitrates; often saved in a 44.1 KHz, 16-bit, stereo format, which is the standard format used for CD audio. Wave files are not compressed, and are therefore lossless. Wave files generally end with a .wav extension.

z izgubami

Used when describing audio compression algorithms, a lossy algorithm is one which results in a loss in audio quality when used.

zaklepanje

With key lock enabled, the tempo of the track will change but the pitch remains consistent. When unlocked, the pitch slider will speed up (or slow down) the track and the pitch will increase (or decrease) along with it.
