The term that describes the characteristic of sound waves that the sound mixer is now able to alter is frequency. Frequency refers to the number of complete wavelengths that pass a point in a given time, and it determines the pitch of a sound. By eliminating unneeded and undesired wavelengths, the sound mixer can adjust the frequency content of the recorded sound, thus improving the overall quality and clarity of the music.
