cue burn
n.— «Back when radio stations spun vinyl, popular records were physically “played out.” To find the beginning of a song, DJs pulled the vinyl backwards and forwards under the needle, scrubbing the sound right off the track. The first few seconds of a song would be marred by static. They called the phenomenon “cue burn.”» —“Q-Burns Abstract Message” by Dustin Driver Apple Oct. 17, 2006.
