EASI - Enhanced Audio Streaming Interface

Acronym for Enhanced Audio Streaming Interface developed by Emagic, and is designed to standardize communication between audio software and hardware. The standard is cross-platform and is similar to ASIO, developed by Steinberg, but differs from ASIO in that Emagic has made EASI totally public, with no need to sign non-disclosure agreements.

Reverb

Reverberation is the result of a sound source being instantiated within an acoustic environment. It usually consists of multiple primary reflections that are the result of the first interaction of the sound Waveswith the acoustic space, followed by more spaced out and rapidly diminishing echoes.

Effects-Loop Circuitry

A mixing console circuit that is used to add an effect to a signal or a group of signals. When the effect unit is plugged into the circuit (via effects send and effects return jacks), it literally functions as a loop, splitting the signal off from the mixer and sending it to the effect, then returning it to the mixer, where it is blended with the original signal.
