digital distortion divergent dream
clipping happens when the waveform exceeds the digital volume limit,and the waveform is modified by distortion, which is often not favourable

Gain is volume basically

Dynamic tange is the range of volume from high volume to low volume, some instruments like a metal guitar, have low dynamic ranges, where a drum kit has a high dynamic range.
Automation: Basically Markers on OS
Stereo: when things are panned
Velocity: note volume
