1. One thing that desktop musicians often struggle with is the distinction between creative and technical terms. An example is the musical term pitch as opposed to the scientific term frequency. Though they both describe the same thing, they aren't quite synonymous. Here's a look at the differences between the two.

1. One key distinction between these terms is that pitch is relative (a matter of common agreement among musicians), while frequency is absolute (a precise, unambiguous measurement). Both describe how often air-pressure levels, or changes in the air's molecular density, repeat. Nature's simplest form of repeating change is called simple harmonic motion. For our purposes, this refers to changes in air pressure that can be represented by a sine wave.
