electroacoustic
Digitally processed audio
Electroacoustic describes sound that is produced, modified, or transmitted through electronic means.
Electroacoustic music combines traditional instruments with electronic processing or purely synthesized sounds.
The term also applies to devices that convert between electrical signals and sound waves: electroacoustic transducers like microphones and speakers.
