If you've ever used Photoshop (or a similar program) for graphics, you've used the various plugins for sharpening, blurring, distorting, whatever the pixels on screen. Lots of audio software these days (ProTools, for example) allows you to, in a similar fashion, do transformations on recorded audio. DSP stands for Digital Signal Processing. Remember all those horrible CD covers that were basically photos that someone's little sister had taken, with about a dozen Photoshop filters applied haphazardly to them? Remember after a while that people came to their senses and realized that this stuff wasn't really impressing anyone who'd ever sat down in front of a photo editing application for a couple of minutes?
