PREFADE Meaning and
Definition
-
There is no official dictionary definition for the term "prefade" as it is a technical term used in the context of audio mixing and production. However, based on its usage in various audio-related discussions, we can provide a definition as follows:
Prefade refers to a specific setting or action that affects the audio signal before it reaches the master fader or main output of a mixing console or DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). It is commonly used in situations where certain audio processing or routing needs to be implemented on a track before it enters the main mix.
Typically, prefade settings include various adjustments, adjustments, or modifications applied to the audio signal such as level adjustments, equalization, compression, gating, panning, or effects. These settings alter the audio characteristics or the signal path of a specific track or channel, ensuring that the audio is processed or shaped in a desired way before it is combined with other tracks in the mix.
The prefix "pre-" in prefade signifies that these modifications are made before the audio reaches the fader that controls its overall volume level within the mix. The purpose of prefade adjustments is to have precise control and flexibility over the audio signal before it is blended with other elements in the mix, allowing for a more balanced, polished, or creative sound.
Etymology of PREFADE
The word "prefade" is a verb that is formed by combining the prefix "pre-" with the word "fade". The prefix "pre-" is derived from the Latin word "prae", meaning "before" or "prior to". The word "fade" originates from the Old French word "fader" which means "to become faint or weak". Therefore, "prefade" essentially means to fade or become weak in advance or before something else happens.
