Music Glossary: [Page 47]

Plan key/tempo transitions; keep dead air minimal with concise patter. more

Check on phones, small speakers, car; commit fixes, not compromises. more

Reduction of sound through partitions; STC summarizes mid-band isolation performance. more

Correct written vs sounding pitch; key signatures and octave transpositions. more

Notational convention where an instrument reads in a different key than concert pitch (e.g., B♭ clarinet). more

Practice licks in 12 keys via circle, minor-third cycle, and tritone jumps. more

Hip-hop subgenre with sparse 808s, skittering hi-hats, and moody synths. more

Rapid reiteration/oscillation of a note or interval; string bow tremolo and percussion rolls. more

Three-note chord built from stacked thirds: major, minor, diminished, augmented. more

Improvisation device alternating two triads a step apart for modern linear color. more

Map major/minor triad pairs to chord functions (tonic, predominant, dominant) for predictable color. more

Rapid alternation between adjacent notes; can include auxiliary accidentals. more

Replacing V with ♭II7 (same tritone) for smooth chromatic bass and altered color. more

Non-transposing brass with slide; powerful, clear low/mid; includes tenor, bass variants. more

True bypass = purity but long cables dull highs; buffers preserve high end and drive longer chains. more

Estimate of intersample peak level via oversampling to prevent downstream clipping. more

Meter dBTP with oversampling; avoid > -1 dBTP to reduce codec clipping. more

Limiting with oversampling to catch inter-sample peaks above 0 dBFS that can distort on conversion. more

Bright, projecting brass voice; agile fanfares to lyrical lines; transposes major second. (B♭) more

Lowest brass providing foundation; warm, broad tone; various keys (F, E♭, C, B♭). more

Gears that adjust string tension; locking variants speed string changes and improve stability. more

Seat heads, interval relationships, gels/rings/felt for decay control. more

Any division of a beat into irregular subdivisions (e.g., triplet, quintuplet). more

Readable brackets/numbers; avoid ambiguous nesting and cross-staff chaos. more

Number and bracket tuplets where needed; do not break tuplets across beams without clear context. more

Short progression leading back to start or chorus (e.g., V–IV–I or ii–V). more

Common endings (V/vi → vi, backdoor IVm → I) as MIDI clips for quick reuse. more
