how bout adding "efforting" to the list of banned words.

in all seriousness, there is a commonly accepted objective definition to the word "w?rm," I just not sure anyone can agree on what it is....

there are also many subjective interpretations and misrepresentations of this "w?rm" in audio, just as there is many misuses of many words in the english language.

and if there is no communication by the use of the word, then why use it anyway.

so, ban it. But the same can be said for about every descriptive word we use to describe audio.

I agree. I mentioned this in an earlier post on this thread. However, I've chose to ban the the one that I consider to be 100% useless. Every other audio adjective seams to have some sort of use, even if limited.

I tried to make sense of the word "****" as it pertains to music. Someone said that it is a less digital or techno sound........A crock....to me. If you want ****, put a CD in the microwave b4 you play it.

I will concede that "w a r m" is frequently a subjective point. But at least in synthesizers it can be understood as two things: 1) subtle oscillator drift and 2) a slight frequency boost in the lower-mid region.

I guess with production equipment, "w a r m" can reflect sounding a bit imprecise.... analog gear and tubes often produce a very subtle level of saturation. Just a little is often called "w a r m t h."

If you like "w a r m" sounds, then buy stuff that, TO YOU, sounds "w a r m."

Personally, I like a little bit of "w a r m t h" in my analog synths (although Im more concerned about "fatness" than "w a r m t h" ultimately speaking, fatness being due to filters rather than oscillators). But I like my production precise, clean and digital.

I can agree with that. Certain sounds, if mixed well, can give us the "effect" that we're looking for. Now "fatness", I love. That should be my middle name.
