Signal Processing
After initial recording, it is common for the audio signal to be altered in some way, such as with the use of compression, equalization, delays and reverb. With analog, this comes in the form of outboard hardware components, and with digital, the same is accomplished with plug-ins that are utilized in the user's DAW.
A comparison of analog and digital filtering shows technical advantages to both methods, and there are several points that are relevant to the recording process.

Famous quotes containing the word signal:
“A signal is comprehended if it serves to make us notice the object or situation it bespeaks. A symbol is understood when we conceive the idea it presents.”
