  • I love how Bach comes in at the end coinciding with 'off-scale happiness'. :-)

  • Great FUN! And, so very true...

  • @qwertzu3 Just the shape of a waveform. At the most basic level sound, electrical current, light, anything that travels as a wave is comprised of tens to thousands of different waveforms that follow the standard undulating curve we're used to seeing. When you combine that many different frequencies and amplitudes, you get the more jagged, random wave patterns you'd actually record with an instrument.
