Where can I get a list of all the terms used in sound recording (gain, preamp, latency, etc.)?

I just scrolled through this thread, on book recommendations in LEARN:
http://www.vo-bb.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=825
and found this, wisdom nuggets from Brian Hart:
| Quote: | Home Recording Studio: Build It Like The Pros by Rod Gervais.
This one is geared towards musicians but if you want to build a true home studio I highly recommend it. Rod talks about how to get started, confusing terms like modes and nodes, isolation techniques, construction details, electrical, HVAC, room treatments and more.
He does a good job of explaining the technical stuff and keeps you away from the complicated math. There are some tools and spreadsheets available for download that go with the book to help with your calculations.
Do you need it if you're just putting a mic in a spare bedroom and hanging some curtains on the wall? No. If you're investing in a professional sound from home then this is $26 to $40 well spent. |
Good luck!

Thanks for the recommendation!
I just ordered "The Voice Actor's Guide To Home Recording" online a few minutes ago. I'll keep your suggestion in mind, too.

I do LOVE this book but it doesn't talk about gear. It deals soley with the physical building of your studio and science of acoustics. Just something to keep in mind.
