I don't do much music recording stuff, so can offer anything on software; but a recent newsletter linked me to a Digital Music Primer that might be of interest to anyone who's into it.

This is a ZiffDavis site, so you'll get a "Doubleclick" cookie. You can delete it later. If you go to the bottom of the page and click on "print this" it gives you a cleaner version that you can read straight through without wading through multiple "next" clicks and all the ads.

More of a glossary than a dictionary, but it does give a pretty good outline of what terminology you need to recognize to get what you want out of your digital music stuff.
