audiowheel's Issues

Add terms & reorganize

I may want to split up this issue...

• Create a wiki page to list potential terms / definitions / examples
• Create a web page for dictionary
• Add audio examples (coded in web audio)
• Update the wheel

Sean Olive suggests four main categories:

• spectral (e.g., bandwidth, balance, etc.)
• spatial (maybe split this into source location & environment?)
• dynamics (e.g., dynamic range, loudness, etc)
• distortion (should noise be here too?)

Some potential terms to add:
