Yes, the "lows (are) like the bass and highs the trebles." "Mids" stands for "midrange" or "middle range", i.e., that area between the highs and lows. Good luck with your review.

Something like this?

www.ka5cvh.com/downloads/musicchart1.pdf

There are plenty of variations on this theme to be found on the web. You will notice variations in teh transition frequencies, but the principles remain the same.

The one I have linked was found by googling instrument frequency ranges.
Cheers

Is there an audio version of this audio glossary?

For comedians in the crowd: no I'm not referring to reading aloud the glossary

Like sound samples to help clarify each concepts ? even with some exaggerations if needs be

Whenever I read text referring to these concepts, I often feel like a visually challenged person attending art classes, studying how to draw using braille textbooks.

(No offense to the visually challenged: hats off to your relentless daily courage.)

I guess I should have googled a bit.

Here's what I've found so far:
Critical Listening and Auditory Perception
[HL472]
F. Alton Everest
ISBN: 0918371139

Critical Listening Skills for Audio Professionals
[HL5857]
F. Alton Everest
ISBN: 1598630237

Both are book/CDs combos.
The first one runs in the 200$, later one is more 45$.

Default Wikipedia this?

Is there a Wikipedia article about this? If there isn't, there should be. It seems like Wikipedia material to me - and you've already got sources.

Actually, I think there was a thread on ear training in the members' lounge recently.
