Your statement 'Stupid question' is me to a T.
You think your questions were stupid...I'm a fellow newbie, much like yourself. I too just recently grabbed Platinum as well as Waves Horizon and The Abbey Road Collection. Heck, I thought by simply buying all this great gear, it would 'master' itself. Ah, but alas, no gold records yet.
Anyway, as a newbie, (we're always trying our best to soak everything in that we read...that is, until we come up to 'brick wall speak'.
Brick Wall Speak (or can we call it BWS) can be a word, term, acronym or phrase dealing with any DAW or studio related 'thing' that you're absolutely certain everyone else who reads the post already knows the meaning, yet you haven't the slightest clue.
You can ignore it, and never hope to learn, or just come out and ask, and fear you'll appear the fool.
That said, i appreciate the others saying 'there's no stupid questions' because if you think yours' were stupid questions then, how's this;
What the heck is SPLAT?
