50个你必须要知道的声音与音色术语(上篇)音乐创作
清澈:音符与和絃能够有区别且轮廓分明,但又不会太尖锐刺耳。
clarity: the way notes and chords are distinct and well defined, but not strident.
11
压缩:一种将声音调整的方法,以防止过大声或太小声,
维持整体音量到一个较狭窄的动态范围(Dynamic Range);
压缩也许会增加延音(Sustain),或者它可能会限制音量基淮(Level)而产生破音(Distortion)。
compression: the way a sound is altered to prevent overly loud or overly soft sounds, keeping the overall volume to a narrower dynamic range; compression may enhance sustain, or it may limit the level that might cause distortion.
(注:对初学者来说,一个名词解释裡又看到延音、动态范围跟破音真的太残忍了。好在延音与动态范围在这裡有解释到。)
12
切割力:能从各式各样的乐器和音色中被听到或辨识到的能力。
通常跟音量大小、明显的起音以及高次谐波含量。
cutting power: the ability to be heard through a variety of instruments and tones. Usually associated with loudness, a pronounced attack and upper-harmonic content.
13
衰减:一段在起音之后的声音部位,在起音与延音之间。
decay: the portion of the note immediately after the attack, just between attack and sustain.
(注:看这边的图就知道道了: Roland专门术语词典:Attack
起音随时间来到最大音量的顶点,接著就会因为音量减少而往下走。
而往下的这一段就是衰减了。)
清晰度:清楚建构的音高与起音。
definition: clearly established pitch and attack.
15
深度:对低音的音调确定属性;若一把吉他有好的深度,那就有很强的低音音调:
16
不刺耳,不爆音,不糊成一块。
depth: the positive attribute of low notes; a guitar with good depth haves strong – not strident, boomy or mushy – bass notes.
17
乾燥感:主要定义在基音(原音)以及低序的谐波含量;
常用来描述一把吉他音色没有过于複杂的谐波含量。
dry or dryness: defined primarily by the fundamental and low-order harmonic content; often used to describe a guitar without complex harmonic content.
18
持续时间:通常跟延音做连结的一段时间测量;
一个弹奏一个和弦或一个单音持续的时间量。
(一般来说,多数的和絃能持续六到十二秒钟。)
duration: a measure of time usually associated with sustain; the amount of time a chord or note lasts when played (most chords will last six to twelve seconds).
###19 动态范围:一项乐器从最小到最大声,在能听见的音乐有用输出。 dynamic range: The audible and musically usable output of an instrument from its quietest to its loudest. 20 力度变化:一项乐器在弹奏非常轻,轻轻地,中等,大力时产生不同音量的能力。 也可以说是吉他输出从轻柔到吵嘈的范围。请见动态范围。 dynamics: an instrument’s ability to produce different sounds when played very softly, softly, medium, and hard; also, the range of the guitar’s output from soft to loud. See dynamic range. 21 反应平均:一项乐器产生出与振幅与谐波含量十分接近的音调。 evenness of response: when the notes from an instrument are very close in amplitude and harmonic content. (注:这真的要看振幅的文章才会清楚。裡面会提到even harmonics、odd harmonics。)22 饱满:通常是指丰富的基音与谐音。full: usually refers to abundant fundamental and harmonics. 23 基音:根音,与他的谐波含量分隔。fundamental: the root note, separate from its harmonic content. 24谐音:一项乐器自然出现声音高峰的频率响应,与根音之上的隔间, 八度音的形式,较高的四五度,和一些单间隔有关。 harmonics: the naturally occurring peaks in the frequency response of an instrument that correspond to intervals above the root note, in the form of octaves, higher fourths and fifths, and some odd intervals.(注:这一定要把振幅讲清楚才行了。) 25 声调:一项乐器,用正确音淮弹奏它的整个范围,透过补偿的技术来达成的能力。 intonation: the ability of an instrument to play in tune through its entire range, which is accomplished via a technique called compensation.(注:这就是所谓的文绉绉的翻译,企图让人看不懂。用语言学来看就是语调的仰扬顿挫)###好,清楚了,谢谢!看我笨的。###大力支持。###支持支持!!呵呵。。。可就是操作不来呢。。。###
