Re-amp, the Glossary
Re-amping is a process often used in multitrack recording in which a recorded signal is routed back out of the editing environment and run through external processing using effects units and then into a guitar amplifier and a guitar speaker cabinet or a reverb chamber.[1]

Audio engineer
An audio engineer (also known as a sound engineer or recording engineer) helps to produce a recording or a live performance, balancing and adjusting sound sources using equalization, dynamics processing and audio effects, mixing, reproduction, and reinforcement of sound. Re-amp and audio engineer are audio engineering.
DI unit
A DI unit (direct input or direct inject) is an electronic device typically used in recording studios and in sound reinforcement systems to connect a high output impedance unbalanced output signal to a low-impedance, microphone level, balanced input, usually via an XLR connector and XLR cable. Re-amp and dI unit are audio engineering and effects units.
Digital audio workstation
A digital audio workstation (DAW) is an electronic device or application software used for recording, editing and producing audio files. Re-amp and digital audio workstation are sound production technology.
See Re-amp and Digital audio workstation
Distortion (music)
Distortion and overdrive are forms of audio signal processing used to alter the sound of amplified electric musical instruments, usually by increasing their gain, producing a "fuzzy", "growling", or "gritty" tone. Re-amp and Distortion (music) are effects units.
See Re-amp and Distortion (music)
Dynamic range compression
Dynamic range compression (DRC) or simply compression is an audio signal processing operation that reduces the volume of loud sounds or amplifies quiet sounds, thus reducing or compressing an audio signal's dynamic range. Re-amp and dynamic range compression are audio engineering.
See Re-amp and Dynamic range compression
Edgard Varèse
Edgard Victor Achille Charles Varèse (also spelled Edgar; December 22, 1883 – November 6, 1965) was a French composer who spent the greater part of his career in the United States.
Effects unit
An effects unit, effects processor, or effects pedal is an electronic device that alters the sound of a musical instrument or other audio source through audio signal processing. Re-amp and effects unit are effects units and sound recording.
Electric guitar
An electric guitar is a guitar that requires external amplification in order to be heard at typical performance volumes, unlike a standard acoustic guitar.
See Re-amp and Electric guitar
Envelope detector
An envelope detector (sometimes called a peak detector) is an electronic circuit that takes a (relatively) high-frequency signal as input and outputs the envelope of the original signal. Re-amp and envelope detector are audio engineering.
See Re-amp and Envelope detector
Generic trademark
A generic trademark, also known as a genericized trademark or proprietary eponym, is a trademark or brand name that, because of its popularity or significance, has become the generic term for, or synonymous with, a general class of products or services, usually against the intentions of the trademark's owner.
See Re-amp and Generic trademark
Guitar amplifier
A guitar amplifier (or amp) is an electronic device or system that strengthens the electrical signal from a pickup on an electric guitar, bass guitar, or acoustic guitar so that it can produce sound through one or more loudspeakers, which are typically housed in a wooden cabinet.
See Re-amp and Guitar amplifier
Guitar speaker
A guitar speaker is a loudspeaker – specifically the driver (transducer) part – designed for use in a combination guitar amplifier (in which a loudspeaker and an amplifier are installed in a wooden cabinet) of an electric guitar, or for use in a guitar speaker cabinet. Re-amp and guitar speaker are sound recording.
Impedance matching
In electrical engineering, impedance matching is the practice of designing or adjusting the input impedance or output impedance of an electrical device for a desired value.
See Re-amp and Impedance matching
Isolation cabinet (guitar)
A guitar speaker isolation cabinet is a sound-proof enclosure that surrounds the speaker and sound-capturing microphone and prevents sound leakage into the outside environment, enabling the guitar amplifier to be turned up without excessive listening volume.
See Re-amp and Isolation cabinet (guitar)
Joe Satriani
Joseph Satriani (born July 15, 1956)Prato, Greg.
John Cuniberti
John Cuniberti is an American recording engineer and producer.
Karlheinz Stockhausen
Karlheinz Stockhausen (22 August 1928 – 5 December 2007) was a German composer, widely acknowledged by critics as one of the most important but also controversial composers of the 20th and early 21st centuries.
See Re-amp and Karlheinz Stockhausen
Les Paul
Lester William Polsfuss (June 9, 1915 – August 12, 2009), known as Les Paul, was an American jazz, country, and blues guitarist, songwriter, luthier, and inventor.
Let It Be (album)
Let It Be is the twelfth and final studio album by the English rock band the Beatles.
See Re-amp and Let It Be (album)
Mary Ford
Mary Ford (born Iris Colleen Summers; July 7, 1924 – September 30, 1977) was an American guitarist and vocalist, comprising half of the husband-and-wife musical team Les Paul and Mary Ford.
Mixing console
A mixing console or mixing desk is an electronic device for mixing audio signals, used in sound recording and reproduction and sound reinforcement systems. Re-amp and mixing console are sound production technology.
Multitrack recording
Multitrack recording (MTR), also known as multitracking, is a method of sound recording developed in 1955 that allows for the separate recording of multiple sound sources or of sound sources recorded at different times to create a cohesive whole. Re-amp and multitrack recording are sound recording.
See Re-amp and Multitrack recording
Phase (waves)
In physics and mathematics, the phase (symbol φ or ϕ) of a wave or other periodic function F of some real variable t (such as time) is an angle-like quantity representing the fraction of the cycle covered up to t. It is expressed in such a scale that it varies by one full turn as the variable t goes through each period (and F(t) goes through each complete cycle).
Phil Spector
Harvey Phillip Spector (December 26, 1939 – January 16, 2021) was an American record producer best known for his innovative recording practices and entrepreneurship in the 1960s along with his two trials and conviction for the murder of Lana Clarkson in the 2000s.
Pierre Schaeffer
Pierre Henri Marie Schaeffer (English pronunciation:,; 14 August 1910 – 19 August 1995) was a French composer, writer, broadcaster, engineer, musicologist, acoustician and founder of Groupe de Recherche de Musique Concrète (GRMC).
See Re-amp and Pierre Schaeffer
Recording studio
A recording studio is a specialized facility for recording and mixing of instrumental or vocal musical performances, spoken words, and other sounds.
See Re-amp and Recording studio
Reverberation
Reverberation (commonly shortened to reverb), in acoustics, is a persistence of sound after it is produced.
Roger Nichols (recording engineer)
Roger Scott Nichols (September 22, 1944 – April 9, 2011) was an American recording engineer, producer, and inventor.
See Re-amp and Roger Nichols (recording engineer)
Software synthesizer
A software synthesizer or softsynth is a computer program that generates digital audio, usually for music.
See Re-amp and Software synthesizer
Walter Murch
Walter Scott Murch (born July 12, 1943) is an American film editor, director, writer and sound designer.
