I am sure there are plenty of threads on this subject, but I could not find any of them in several searches.
I am recording my first CD and my engineer is beginning to mix it. I do not know how to talk to him about the sound I want (and don't want). I am usually an articulate person.
Could someone give me a basic vocabulary of mixing terms (or a reference to one) such as "EQ" "compression" "reverb," etc? to supplement my native vocabulary of "brightness," "edge," "guts," etc.?
I would also appreciate references to good threads on similar subjects.
