Morphology

revoicing = revoice (semi-transparent) = re + voice + ing

The step from the verb 'revoice' to the noun 'revoicing' is a regular and easily understood -ing nominalization.

Etymology

Revoicing comes from the prefix re- 'again' and voice 'the sound you use to speak or sing', so think of giving a song, recording, or harmony a new voice or sound. That's why revoicing means giving a new voice, sound, or arrangement in music or audio.
