Surely if you measured their sound they would have a pitch technically...

Glad to have all you audio people and so many musicians on Lemmy :) Really getting interested in psychoacoustics for various applications lately so its been awesome :)

If you don’t already play with Ableton Live I highly recommend it. It’s got tons of signal-altering filters that you can chain together into pipelines and it’s great for developing an intuitive understanding of the connections between signal, waveform, sound, and perception.

As an audiophile who just joined lemmy, any recommended Fediverses? :D (and am I using the term right?)
