Electrical signals are either direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC).

For DC signals, information is carried by the existence of a DC level, or it's absence. This is binary signalling, and communicates either a '1' or a '0'.

An AC signal conveys information by either changing one of the three properties that AC signals have:

1) changing the amplitude of the signal (this is amplitude modulation, like an AM radio)

2) changing the frequency (this is frequency modulation, like an FM radio station)

3) changing the phase of the AC signal. This is used in the faster of the old-style computer modems, as well as DSL modems

What does send mean in terms of Audio Mixing and Recording?

SEND is usually short for AUX SEND (Auxillary Send). It is often used to add effects such as reverb or delay to sound being routed through the mixer. The 'dry' uneffected sound goes straight through the mixer to the main stereo outputs; but you can choose to SEND some of the audio signal through an AUXILLARY route where it can go through an effects unit, (reverb for example), before RETURNING to the original main signal path. The portion of the audio that you SEND through to an effect such as reverb via the AUX route is known as WET. The portion of the audio that stays on the main path through the mixer is DRY.
