Episode show notes:

I've built a page that offers simple explanations for the most common terms in audio, as well as all the common features and functions found on recording studio equipment. It is completely free, super awesome, and today we're gonna introduce it to you on the podcast.

Making and recording music is about the art. About creativity. When you write or record, you want to be in the zone. You want to be in flow state. 

 

And nothing is more distracting and annoying than having to google seemingly complicated terms, features or functions that you come across while you’re creating.

 

So here's the resource to find your answers quickly and end the confusion.

 

The good news is: Most of that stuff is not complicated at all and you don’t have to understand all the technical ins and outs of every piece of gear, in order to make or record a great song.

 

And once you find out what the important terms mean, you don’t have to be afraid of making a mistake, anymore. You can finally focus on the art and what comes out of the speakers. Because ultimately, that’s all that matters.

 

To know the right terms and their meaning also helps in situations where you collaborate and communicate with others. Because sometimes people say one thing and actually mean something completely different. We don't want that happening to you.

 

So, to save you from that frustrating waste of time and energy, I’ve put together categorized lists with short, simple explanations of all those things. Boiled down to what really matters and already filtering out the stuff you don’t necessarily need to know to get started.

 

On this episode we'll explain some of the most confusing, important and common audio terms. And then you can look up the rest on this page when you need to.

 Let's go!
