Talking the talk {terminology question}
Reply with quote

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.

Hi there!

You might find the information you need at:

http://www.soundonsound.com/information/Glossary.php

But this is not tracker-specific, though.

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 Smile 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.
