Is there a glossary of acronyms?
I see lots of acronyms used in the forum, just wondering if there is some sort of glossary around - for starters what does PRV stand for?

PRV = Piano Roll View
I'd list a few more but I haven't had my coffee yet. Perhaps you'll get a compilation out of this!

I don't even know what acronym means - kidding :)
SS = Step Sequencer
PC = Pro Channel
AS = Audio Snap
X3 = Blissful productivity
PT = Pro Tools (or Pathetically Tired - can't recall which)
DP = Dimension Pro
FU = What my ex-wife says to me for all the time I spend working with Sonar and with the forum
I will think of some more real ones when the coffee starts working - the first cup didn't stand a chance...

Do you mean general acronyms or Sonar/DAW specific ones? Make a list of ones you are having a hard time with and I'll try to answer as many as I can. Could be fun.
Some acronyms are context sensitive though so they can multiple meanings. I've learned most of my acronyms by gleaning their meaning from the context of what's being said. Also a lot of times if a thread is about a specific piece of gear the name may only get used once and then the OP (original poster... but I'm sure you knew that... lol) and others will just start using an acronym to save typing. Like if I'm blathering on about Focusrite (as I am prone to do) I may type Focusrite once or twice then just start using FR because it should be clear to the reader what I'm talking about at that point.
For more general acronyms though google is your friend. Urban dictionary has most commonly used internet acronyms listed/defined.
