words in music

移花接木
楼主 (文学城)

I thought the sound/music terms confusing.

like 'pitch', 'tempo',  fine to me,  and then it  comes 'speed' 

For instance in the open source app "Audacity", in the "effect" drop down menue. There are options:

pitch- change pitch without changing tempo, or tempo- change tempo without changing pitch. but the speed--change speed will change pitch and tempo.

 Is it not that changing tempo is changing music playing speed?  By changing tempo, the playing speed/frequency of each note is changed-->does this not affect the pitch?   We know that the sound tones, i.e. pitch,  is due to different vibration frequencies of vocal cord.

Can anyone explain these music terms?

If you record a sentence at a normal speed

but play it at twice the speed, not only does the sentence end in half of the time (meaning the tempo is quicker), you will also hear the pitch go higher. The voice of an adult will sound like a child. Sometimes changing both tempo and pitch simultaneously is unwanted, that' why people come up with other more advanced functions: changing pitch without changing the tempo, and changing tempo without changing the pitch.

不知道在这里speed是什么意思。tempo: BPM

rhythm is time signature和音乐型:4/4,3/4,6/8 etc.以几分音符为一拍,每小节有几拍

和风格 强弱拍等,比如Jazz,R&B,bossa nova,etc

reverb:混响。balance是不是均衡?比如EQ?这个我做后期时瞎用:)

Nice!

rhythm是每个拍子总是在每一节里发生的相对位置, tempo是拍子之间的时间间距. speed我就晕了

EQ 没错

改变speed同时改变tempo与pitch我可以理解, 但改tempo不改pitch我不理解如何做到的.

这个是专门的音乐软件,比如midi时,你的曲子的tempo是可以改变的。每个音符的pitch不变。唱歌的声音是单独一轨。

rhythm 这个词,最难以表达。含义最为广泛,也是最难以掌握精湛的。韵律。包括了一首歌里的一切因素。

bpm = beats per minute 每分钟多少拍,音乐演奏演唱的速度。tempo 是意大利语“速度”。

与音乐表现相关的用语,基本都出自意大利语。
