Posted: Fri Sep 22 2006 05:53 Talking the talk {terminology question} |
 |
Hello, first time poster and aspiring befouler of air and other vibrating mediums.
I've done some looking around, including Google, the site's FAQs and tutorials, but mostly drawn a blank and with that, I turn to badgering the experts. My question is thus - are there any threads or web resources where I can find a guide to tracking and composing terminology? What are phasers, FSUs, flanging, analog filters and so on? In a nutshell, are there any "musicspeak to everyday English" dictionaries about?
Thanks in advance. |

that SoS glossary is neat but i suggest the english wikipedia page too, it has some very useful information concerning a great many of topics just search for the keywords - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
you can also try to browse through our wiki page here at mt.org tho it's under development - more or less. if you can't find something there and need explanation drop a message here and maybe some of us can write that missing article mt-wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page |

Martin: Yep, that's pretty much along the lines of what I was looking for.
Geronimo: Exactly. I've found that in a lot of cases one of the biggest gaps in self-teaching {not just music} is learning the language, or finding the correct word to describe what one wants to do.
Oldbrian: Well, okay. Can you tell me what the process of taking one instrument {or sample} and "multiplying" it is called? Basically, to take, say, one trumpet and making it sound like there's three of them playing in unison?
Edit: After some guesswork, I found it - chorus. |
