ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Audio Engineering Society

Okay kiddo, so there are people who really like to listen to music and sounds, and they want to make sure that the way they hear it is the best it can be. These people are called Audio Engineers.

Now, sometimes these Audio Engineers get together and talk about how to make things sound even better. They create a group called the Audio Engineering Society - kind of like when you and your friends make a club or group for something you all like to do.

This group talks about all kinds of things, like how to make sure the sounds you hear are the same everywhere you go (like in a car or on a big speaker), how to make new sounds for movies and TV shows, and how to record music and voices so they sound really good.

They even talk about how to use special computer programs to change the sounds, like making a person's voice sound like a robot or changing the sound of a guitar to make it louder or softer.

So that's basically what the Audio Engineering Society is - a group of people who really like to make things sound great and they get together to talk about it!
