Sound Waves

"Sound waves exist as variations of pressure in a medium such as air." They are made by and object vibrating, which then causes the air surrounding it to also vibrate. The vibrating air then causes the human eardrum to vibrate, which then the brain interprets as sound.

All audio work is about manipulating sound waves. The final result of your work is about the series of high and low pressure zones. That's why it is important to understand how the sound waves work, they are the what you most need for your project.
