audio synthesis

Audio synthesis is the process of creating sounds electronically, typically using computers or electronic instruments. It involves generating waveforms—such as sine, square, or sawtooth waves—and modifying them with various techniques like filtering, modulation, and effects to produce desired sounds. Think of it as painting with sound waves, where different shapes and techniques combine to create everything from musical tones to complex sound effects. Synthesizers and digital audio workstations provide tools to manipulate these waveforms creatively, allowing artists to design a vast array of sounds without traditional instruments.
