Yet will download new 2 collection of popular dance music from the best night clubs in the world, you will be able to read and memorize the dictionary DJs.
BPM (Beats per minute). The number of bits (drums beats) per minute. Points to pace the track. For example, the rate of most house-tracks is in the range 125-132 BPM.
CBR (Constant bitrate). Constant bit rate. Variant coding data (including audio), where the bitrate does not change throughout the entire file. See also VBR.
EP (Extended play). Release containing a few songs (usually without the remixes). From the album differs a smaller number of tracks.
RPM (Revolutions per minute). Literally "the number of revolutions per minute. Means the speed at which the written record. RPM values include 33, 45 and very rare - 78.
VBR (Variable bitrate). Variable bitrate. Variant data encryption, where the bitrate can vary from one fragment of a file to another depending on the saturation of the audio material. Typically, the sound quality MP3-VBR file better quality than CBR audio file of the same size.
Anti-slip. When the needle is on the rotating disc, the centripetal force pushing it toward the center of the pancake. This force can bring a lot of inconvenience when handling the plate. Mechanism of Anti-Skid Deck generates the opposite effect, which prevents the needle "slide" toward the center.
Bits. 1. Of Eng. beat - a single hit drums. Also - a sequence of strokes, the rhythm generator. 2. Of Eng. bit - a unit of measurement of information equal to one-eighth byte. See also Bit rate.
Bitmetching. The process of matching pitch of one track so that its tempo matches the tempo of the other. Usually done by ear.
Bitrate. Data transmission rate, measured in kilobits per second (kbps / c). The formats of digital audio, for example, MP3, bitrate higher value generally corresponds to less compression and thus higher quality. Not to be confused with BPM.
Damn. In a vinyl player - a round turntable on which the plate is placed.
Barrel. Large drum percussion section. That barrel is responsible for the characteristic "tutsu in dance music. Anatomy of Sound "TTC": "Tu" - a barrel, "n" - plates.
Break. Part of a composition in which a barrel temporarily disappears. As a rule, break precedes the main peak or a private track, his "explosion".

Gate passes sound only if its level exceeds a predetermined threshold, which is usually exposed to noise levels.

Head (body head). At the head screws attached to the needle cartridge. The head, in turn, fixed to the tonearm nut fixing.
Deuce. The union of two squares, consisting of 8 cycles, or 32 bits.
DJ. Of Eng. DJ (disc jockey). The man who played (plays), recorded music for other people.
Dynamic range. In the engineer - the ratio between the signal levels at the very loud and the quiet parts of songs.
Needle. Diamond needle, which removes fluctuations with a track record. Inserted into the cartridge.
Cartridge. In a vinyl player - a device that converts vibrations of the needle in the path of the plate into electrical impulses.
Square. A group of 4 cycles, consisting, respectively, of 16 bits.
Compressor (Dynamic Range). Sound editor program function or a special device that amplifies the signal in quiet passages, songs, but leaves it unchanged on loud. This allows, among other things, to increase the perceived loudness without increasing the signal peak sound levels.
Crossover. Filter the sound signal, which divides it into frequency bands for further processing - such as, for example, EQ.
Crossfader. Horizontal slider on the mixer, which allows you to smoothly transfer the sound between the two selected channels.
Label. Brand or trademark under which the release. Typically, label's releases are within the same style, and the label works with a certain segment of the performers and producers.
Limiter. A device that transmits a signal below a certain level without any changes, but weakens the peaks of a more powerful signal. Is a variation of the compressor. In conjunction with the general intensification of the sound signal is applied in the mastering process to increase the perceived loudness of the composition.
Mix. Ordering of the tracks recorded on the media. In contrast to the set (live performance), the mix is similar in essence to the album and was originally created for the purpose of further replication.
Monitors. Special columns in the vicinity of the DJ, allowing him to hear ("monitor") sound going to the dance floor, with no delays and distortions.
Locomotive. See Perebitovka.
Loop. Rotating an excerpt of the composition. Is defined by two points - the start and end.
Perebitovka. Knocking the barrels of two tracks that do not sound a bit in a bit. Aurally perceived as "bu-bum, bu-bum, bu-boom".
Pitch. Knob on the professional player that enables you to change the tempo playback track. Together with the change rate of naturally changing and pitch (pitch); hence the name.
Release. The collection of tracks released commercially. Examples of release - an album, EP, single.
Remix. The alternative version of the track, created by adding or removing elements of the composition, overlaid on the source material sounds or sound effects as well as changes in pitch, tempo and other parameters of the work.
Re-Edith. Version of the track obtained by rearranging parts (fragments) of original compositions. In contrast to the remix, which somehow changed the sound track, re-Edite have a simple rearrangement of its parts - the verses, choruses, breaks, etc.
Mixing. Superposition of two or more audio tracks on one another. Used in two main ways: a). imposition of one track to another in the process of changing tracks in the mix, and b). connection of tracks corresponding to individual instruments of the composition in a single track.
Seth. DJs, consisting of the ordering of the tracks. In contrast to the mix, set, most often means a live performance.
Single. Release, containing one song and some remixes on it. Dance music is produced mainly in the form of singles.
Scratching. Technology turntablizma used to extract the characteristic sounds by the reciprocating movement of the plate on a vinyl player with a simultaneous manipulation of the crossfader mixer. Well, you knew, huh?
Slipmat. Pad made of synthetic material, which is placed between a pancake and the plate and is designed to reduce friction between them.
Stroboscope. Serves to control the speed of rotation of the pancake. Highlighting tags intermittent stroboscopic light, strobe has the effect of "freezing" tags on certain provisions of the pitch.
Tact. In dance music, size 4 / 4 - a group of four beats drums, has one strong part (the first bit) and three weak ones.

Spindle (the central spindle axis). Since it combines the hole plate when installing it on a pancake.
EQ. Device or a software feature that allows you to change (align) frequency response signal. Allows you to adjust the signal level versus frequency - for example, to strengthen or weaken the bass treble.
Expander (dynamic range). Device or function of computer programs designed to expand the dynamic range of sound. The principle of the inverse of the compressor.
Apple. Sticker in the center of the plate. Usually contains information about the release: label, artist, track list, etc.
