'''Proposal''' |
|||
==Overview== |
|||
In MusicBrainz, a '''recording''' is either unmixed and unedited recorded sound or the result of '''mixing''' and/or '''editing''' one or more '''audio tracks'''. |
|||
An '''audio track''' is recorded sound, captured from a studio or live performance or from other audio sources, including existing recordings. |
|||
'''Editing''' is defined as re-arranging audio tracks. This involves adding, removing, lengthening or shortening sections of audio tracks, or moving them relative to other sections. |
|||
'''Mixing''' is the process by which audio tracks are combined into one or more output audio channels. Mixing may apply a variety of audio processing techniques to audio tracks, such as equalization, panning, volume adjustment and compression. |
|||
'''Mastering''' is a process that is applied to the mixed and/or edited audio tracks, to prepare them for release. Since mastering is a process which can only happen after a recording is completed, it does not factor into the definition of recording. |
|||
It is usually the case that a recording is a mix of a performance of a [[work]] by a particular [[artist]], and appears as a track on [[Release|releases]] in one or more [[Release Group|release groups]]. |
|||
==Examples== |
|||
These are all different Recordings: |
|||
