The boosting of a signal’s amplitude so as to increase the perceived volume and energy of the sound signal. Amplifiers may be electronic, or might be acoustic resonators (such as…

A technical term that describes loudness. The higher the amplitude of a sound wave, the louder it is. The amplitude relates to the amount of displacement that the sound wave…

A type of manipulation in which one input signal modulates the amplitude of another sound. When done in the sub-audio range by, for example a LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) sine wave, the…
