This document discusses six common audio effects: distortion, delay, echo, wah-wah, reverberation, and phaser. Distortion alters the original shape of a sound, delay records and replays sound after a time, and echo is a reflected sound. Wah-wah varies resonance to add expression, reverberation is lingering sound, and chorus merges similar pitches into one. Phaser splits a signal into paths.

AUDIO EFFECTS

2. DISTORTION
 Distortion-A distortion is the alteration of the
original shape (or other characteristic) of an
object, image, sound, waveform or other
form of information or representation.

3. DELAY
 Delay-Delay is an audio effect which records
an input signal to an audio storage medium,
and then plays it back after a period of time

4. ECHO
 Echo-In audio signal processing and
acoustics, an echo (plural echoes) is a
reflection of sound, arriving at the listener
sometime after the direct sound.

5. WAH-WAH
 Wah-Wah-Wah-wah is an imitative word (or
onomatopoeia) for the sound of altering the
resonance of musical notes to extend
expressiveness, sounding much like a
human voice saying the syllable wah.

6. REVERBERATION
 Reverberation-Reverberation is the
persistence of sound in a particular space
after the original sound is removed

7. CHORUS
 Chorus-In music, a chorus effect (sometimes
chorusing or chorused effect) occurs when
individual sounds with roughly the same
timbre and nearly (but never exactly) the
same pitches converge and are perceived as
one.

8. PHASER
 Phaser-The electronic phasing effect is
created by splitting an audio signal into two
paths.
