Curve (tonality)

Imagine you have a toy car and you want to make it go faster or slower. You can do this by pressing a button or turning a knob. Sound also has a similar button or knob called a "curve."

The curve, also called tonality, is like the button that controls how high or low the sound is. You can adjust the curve to make the sound higher or lower.

For example, if you want to make a sound that is too high, like a screeching sound, less intense, you can adjust the curve to make it lower. Similarly, if you want to make a low sound like a rumble more intense, you can adjust the curve to make it higher.

The curve helps to balance the different frequencies in a sound, making sure they all sound good together. So, if you want your music or audio to sound good, it's important to adjust the curve carefully to make sure everything sounds balanced and not too high or low.
