Describing Sound - A Glossary - Page 7

How do I look for Lows, Mids, and Highs in music? are lows like the bass and highs the trebbles? what are the mids?

i just want to know how to describe these in a review...

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.

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.)

Very, vey helpful!

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$, later one is more 45$.

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.

Difficult to write a wiki article. the musicchart1.pdf is a useful guide but there are quite a few factual errors, with ranges of instruments and with some of the frequencies. For example: Tuba and string bass have the same low note "C". Kick drum attack is usually somewhere between 1-3kHz. Plus some more subjective errors: The high freq band usually goes to 12kHz and then the very highs. I've always associated ultra-high freq with freqs above 22kHz.

The problem is, all of us in the industry have slightly different descriptions and boundaries so it's very difficult to write a definitive article.

Helpful chart for sure, but it seems to me that according to the chart, very very few sounds hit the high range (6000+ hz). Am I interpreting it correctly?

What about lush? I couldn't find it in the sticky.

Liquid?
