Sound Technician Glossary

Description

Introduction to the work

This is a glossary of technical terms designed for the sound engineer, containing summary definitions of nearly 700 entries related to sound, audio, musical, phonic, electrical, and computer technologies.

The terms are organized alphabetically according to international technical and slang lexicon; therefore, they are in English, while the definitions are in Italian.

Many of the English definitions have an Italian equivalent (although less commonly used) and are therefore cited, but with a cross reference to the corresponding English term; they are highlighted in the list of entries with an indent.

Those who have the eBook version can use the convenient internal links in the index (and not only) which make it interactive and very practical to use.

Preliminary warning

The eBook version of this glossary is here in its “1st edition” and is being continuously updated “in progress”.

It currently consists of over 600 definitions (in addition to approximately 200 carry-over entries); when completed, it will presumably include approximately 2,000/3,000 main definitions, in addition to approximately 1,000 "carry-over" entries.

Free updates will then be available:

• for those who purchased the manual
• for those who received it as a gift together with the purchase of other books

Upon completion of the work, a paper version will also be published and will be available on the Author's website. www.alessandro fois.com and on Amazon

Work with us

Those who would like to participate in the drafting of the glossary can send one or more missing entries to the email lycnos@gmail.com complete with definition.

For editorial reasons, we cannot guarantee the publication of all the entries provided by contributors. However, all those whose definitions are published (even if only one) will be cited in the appendix of this volume, unless they specifically wish not to appear.

Those who would like to correct or complete one or more existing entries or who would like to attach an appendix table useful to sound engineers (similar to those already present here) can send the material to the same email address above.
