    fun fact! the opacity of audio effects is instead described by a scale from wet to dry, with full wet being 100% “opacity” and dry being 0% “opacity”

      That’s nice and all, but I have no idea what either “wet” or “opaque” mean in relation to sound =(

        sound effects, or more properly audio effects - are things like pitch shifts or reverb, you apply them onto a clip and they modify how said clip sounds. If you later decide you added too much of say reverb you can always lower the wetness of that effect, in the same way you’d see a layer of a picture halfway through you can now hear the sound effect halfway through!
