  audio-rate frequency modulation
This article explains the phenomenon of audio-rate frequency modulation of sound, which was explored and used compositionally by John Chowning of Stanford University around 1970.
The rate of the vibrato is determined by the modulator's frequency, the depth of the vibrato (or how far above and below its center frequency the carrier will be pushed) is determined by the modulator's amplitude and the shape of the vibrato is determined by the modulator's waveform.
The carrier frequency is not necessarily the fundamental frequency.

  Audio frequency-shift keying - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Audio frequency-shift keying (AFSK) is a modulation technique by which digital data is represented as changes in the frequency (pitch) of an audio tone, yielding an encoded signal suitable for transmission via radio or telephone.
Normally, the transmitted audio alternates between two tones: one, the "mark", represents a binary one; the other, the "space", represents a binary zero.
AFSK differs from regular frequency-shift keying in that the modulation is performed at baseband frequencies.

At audio frequencies, crosstalk normally results from ground loops introduced by the use of one ground return for more than one high-current signal path.
The range of signal frequencies supplied by an amplifier or reproduced by a speaker or microphone as specified by the upper and lower bounds of the frequency range in Hertz (Hz).
At higher frequencies, amplifier output power generally becomes restricted by a large-signal bandwidth limit that is distinct from the commonly specified small-signal bandwidth.

Frequency-shift keying (FSK) is frequency modulation in which the modulating signal shifts the output frequency between predetermined values.
Frequency modulation (FM) is a form of modulation which represents information as variations in the instantaneous frequency of a carrier wave.
In telecommunications and computing, bit rate (sometimes written bitrate) is the frequency at which bits are passing a given (physical or metaphorical) point.

 Nyquist Theorem Details
The other half is that when the highest frequency content of the subject is close to half the sampling rate, the process of turning the samples (digital representation) back into a waveform or video scan line (analog representation) is complicated and sometimes not done right.
Nyquist's frequency is the frequency that no part of the source material may attain or exceed, which is half of the sampling frequency.
But as a hint we will state that the sampling frequency is the frames per second rate and the frequency we are trying to reproduce is the rate at which spokes pass the "6 o'clock position" on the wheel.

 DSP Voice Frequency Compandor
Simply put, frequency companding is a method of removing the most unused frequency components from a given source and then shifting the remaining components together.
Frequency shifting can be done quite simply by multiplying a signal in the time domain by a complex exponential.
The frequency spectrum must be symmetrical around the origin, otherwise you have a complex number in the time domain (which you'll find rather difficult to send out the D/A converter).

For audio use the most common electronic filter is a bandpass filter, characterized by three parameters: center frequency, amplitude (or magnitude), and bandwidth.
Digitized samples of the audio signal serve as inputs, and each filtered output is computed from a weighted sum of a finite number of previous inputs.
The measure of any audio device's ability to respond to a sine wave program, and therefore is a complex function measuring gain and phase shift (see phasor).

Since 1939, it has served as the audio frequency reference for the calibration of pianos, violins, and other musical instruments.
Tuning a piano is an example of a simple frequency calibration that is actually done with the human ear.
The smallest frequency offset that a piano tuner can hear depends on lots of factors, including the sound volume, the duration of the tone, the suddenness of the frequency change, and the musical training of the listener.

 Detecting MP3-Sourced Audio
Detecting mp3-sourced audio is not entirely simple or 100% reliable, but there are a couple of reasonably easy things to try.
The basic approach to detecting mp3-sourced audio is to run spectral and frequency analysis on some of the wav files.
If you decode an mp3 to wav and do a frequency analysis on the wav, you will often see a sudden drop to much lower volume (db) level at around 17-19khz (or on old, bad mp3s, you will see it at much lower frequencies).

 Audio Downloads : Frequency Converter /// AnalogX
One of the most common problems when you're working with an EQ is identifying exactly what it is you want to tweak.
Freq takes some of the guesswork out of the process, by allowing you to easily convert between frequencies and notes, which can then be used to help target specific areas in the mix.
Freq also outputs 'cents' based from A0 (27.5hz), for eq's that do not use named frequencies, and supports fractional notes +/- 50 cents.

 Excel Audio Systems - Frequency Extension Unit 802FEU
Unlike ordinary sub bass units the low level input signal is fed directly into the FEU where a frequency division network diverts the lowest frequencies to the FEU amplifier and feeds the remaining signal to the monitor as normal.
When the FEU is switched off the division network is bypassed feeding the total signal to the monitor.
The FEU will highlight material that has been produced on speakers with poor bass extension such as many popular mini monitors, and it may take a little time for the ear to adjust to hearing the entire frequency spectrum being faithfully reproduced.
