[AlinMV]

Here are some terms I encounter often but don't have a firm understanding of:

Comb Filter effect

Transients

Early reflections (Reverb)

TIA

[Wide Awake]

transient- a short non-pitched signal that usually proceeds the sustained, pitch portion of a musical instruments tone. A flute produces a chiff, a violin produces a scrape, a guitar produces a click.....those are examples of transients.

In addition:

A transient is a bum who visits you and drinks your brew, oogles your girl, and needs to be re-recorded.
