Looking for some reading material...
« on: June 17, 2014, 12:16:25 PM »

is there a handy glossary of terms that anyone can point me to so I understand the technical meaning of things like Gate, Shelf, HighQ, Compressor, etc... looking for a reference sheet of definitions i guess!

also looking for material about polar patters of microphones, how they work, where they should be positioned, etc...

I know i could search the web for this stuff, but i also know that there is someone on here that knows of some time saving reading material that is clear and to the point of what I am looking for!  Thanks in advance to any who reply!

As others have noted, look for the Yamaha sound reinforcement handbook and DVD, although dated the concept is still relevant today.

Physics is not dated and the book is not a concept.  It's an actual publication.

Off to the iggy bin.

Didn't you hear?  Ohm's Law and Gravity are dated. They don't apply to me anymore ;)

What I meant was that it doesn't talk about line arrays and digital mixers because it wasn't invented in the 80's, sorry that I wasn't clear...

They don't need to, as the physics of transducers, horns and pattern control are fundamentally consistent regardless of array geometry, and how to mix, along with why and what, are also format-agnostic.  Digital mixers give you more stuff to work with, but the function performed is the same as analog.
