What is an 'effect parameter'?

An 'effect parameter' refers to the specific setting or adjustment associated with an audio effect applied within a program. In audio production and digital audio workstations like EarSketch, this could mean various aspects such as the intensity, frequency, or speed of an effect. When you modify an effect parameter, you are adjusting how the effect influences the sound, allowing for a wide range of creative possibilities. This flexibility is crucial for tailoring the audio experience to meet the desired artistic vision. The focus on a setting emphasizes the nuanced control offered to sound designers and musicians, distinguishing it from broader categories or counts of effects, which are not inherently tied to the actual sound manipulation itself.
