Bias
Bias is a very high frequency signal that is incorporated in the recording of any magnetic medium. Magnetic recording equipment generates a bias current that is required to enable the magnetic oxide to record the audio portion of a signal - somewhat like an audio catalyst. The signal generated

Over-processed
An over-processed track suffers from what audio engineers might consider to be too much of a good thing. Any process designed to improve, repair, enhance, or otherwise advance the quality of an audio track can, if used in excess, have the reverse effect and start to diminish its overall quality.

Amplitude
A sound wave moving through the atmosphere pushes air. As the air in front of the wave gets compressed, the air pressure goes up. The magnitude of change in the air pressure from that sound wave is its amplitude. The bigger its amplitude, the louder the wave will sound.
