Synchronisation
Synchronisation means keeping events accurately aligned in time.
Level relevance: introduced at Nat 4; tagged for every later level where the same concept remains useful.
Explanation
Synchronisation is about making sure recorded or sequenced material happens at the correct time in relation to other material. This could mean keeping loops in time with the project tempo, aligning overdubs, or ensuring multiple musical events happen together accurately. In more advanced work, poor synchronisation can make a project sound messy even if the individual sounds are strong.
