Here are some commonly-used terms for computer music recording:
| Condenser mic | A type of microphone that uses an electrically-charged capacitor to capture sound with sensitivity and detail, like the included TM-78 |
| DAW software | DAW stands for Digital Audio Workstation, a type of software like Cubase LE4 that allows you to record, edit and mix music or sound effects |
| Guitar in | An input with the correct signal and impedance levels for an electric guitar or bass, or an acoustic guitar with a pickup |
| Interface | Like a soundcard, a computer interface allows you to plug microphones, guitars and speakers into your computer using USB 2.0 |
| Line In | An input with a signal level you get from most powered devices like keyboards, CD players, or effects processors |
| Mic In | An input with the low signal level coming out of a microphone |
