Glossary

Following the tradition of a good book, we found it helpful to include a brief dictionary style list of words related to the topics discussed on this website, the glossary.

Please see this resource as a kind of vocabulary to the music producer, or any artist deeply interested in the art of audio production. The terms we discuss on this pages may have its specific meaning in the particular context or subject, so naturally the descriptions are in no way complete in an encyclopedic sense.

If one of the following terms is mentioned in an article, you can access its description directly through a click without leaving the article page (example: dBFS). If you are searching manually after a specific term, you are on the right page.
