On a normal scale, the ticks go 1..2..3..4...
on a log scale, ticks go 1..10..100...1000...
Sound and frequency, weirdly, is always in a log scale, you just dont notice it
Time however, usually shouldnt be ๐
Thanks. I guess I never realized notes were on a log scale.
If it helps, going up an octave doubles the frequency. So we perceive the difference between 100hz and 200hz to be the same as the difference between 300hz and 600hz.
