The Digital Audio Dictionary is a valuable source of definitions for traditional, and cutting-edge audio terms.

A great educational tool. The descriptions are complete, concise and very understandable. It's everything you'd want, and more, in a dictionary on digital audio!" Keith Medley - Director of Training, Mackie Designs "An essential lexicon for all audio enthusiasts involved in shopping for gear, deciphering equipment specifications, wading through manuals, or winning an argument!"
