Zero Crossing

The point where the polarity of an electrical or sampled signal changes from positive to negative (or vice-versa) as it passes through zero. A zero crossing provides a convenient point to splice two sounds because the levels of the two splice points are the same at zero volts.


A point at which a digitally encoded waveform crosses the center of its amplitude range.
