Glossary
R
RCA cable Sometimes called a phono cable, RCA cables have RCA plugs or jacks at either
end and are normally used to connect stereo system components, such as receivers, CD
players, and cassette decks.
Real time In computer-based audio, real time refers to functions that react immediately to
user input and transform audio nondestructively. (Note, however, that system speed
ultimately determines processing time.) Adobe Audition provides real-time mixing and
effects in Multitrack View, and real-time effects previews in Edit View.
Referenced clip In Multitrack View, a referenced clip shares a source file with other clips.
For example, if a drum hit occurs 30 times in a session, you can conserve disk space by
using 30 referenced clips of the same source file. Because referenced clips represent the
same file, any alteration to a referenced clip (like a cut or transform) affects all instances
in a session. By contrast, unique clip copies create a separate sound file on disk, consuming
more disk space, but allowing for separate editing.
Resample To convert a sound file to a different sample rate.
Reverb The reverberant sound produced by an acoustic space, such as a room or concert
hall. Reverb consists of dense, discrete echoes that arrive at the ear so rapidly that the ear
can’t separate them. Adobe Audition offers four reverb effects: Quick Verb, Studio Reverb,
Reverb, and Full Reverb.
Rip The process of digitally extracting audio from a compact disc and turning it into a
waveform. Most newer CD-ROM, CD-R, and CD-RW drives support digital audio
extraction.
RMS (Root-mean-square) A mathematical formula used to determine the average
amplitude of an audio selection. RMS amplitude reflects perceived loudness better than
peak amplitude.
