Tech Glossary for Audio and Synths

Once upon a time (ok, it was actually 2009), Resident Advisor hired me to create an extensive glossary of synthesis and audio production terms.

I intentionally designed it to be universal, as I’d hoped it would stand the test of time.

Over ten years later, the glossary is still online and still 100% relevant to learning synths and DAWs.

Here’s the link. It’s worth bookmarking as a handy reference for both pros and beginners.
