Best Ways to Learn Terminology
Posted: Tue Jan 22, 2013 11:58 pm
Hey guys,
I'm killing the tutorials, reading around the forum (always searching), I have eBooks and just recently got a subscription to some PC Music magazines. I'm putting in the hard work that's necessary but unfortunately I encounter moments where I am literally reading a foreign language. I'm reading but it's not computing because I am not familiar with the terminology.
Do any of you guys have any recommendations of websites, places with definitions, etc that I could use for a reference point? I now understand a lot of the basic terminology (modulation, lfo, oscillator, decay, attack, etc) but I would benefit from a more in-depth understanding of a lot of the terms so I could really tackle the books and magazines I have.
So far I'm doing these tuts but it's more or less just doing stuff because I know how it will change the sound and not because I understand the things that are actually taking place. Not how I won't to do it.
Thanks in advance.
