I have no idea what any of this means

I find this kind of thing a good case for LLMs as they can dumb down the technical jargon:

From Gemini:

```

Imagine you're trying to record someone talking in a noisy room using your MacBook's built-in microphones. This software acts like a super-smart filter:

* It knows where the microphones are: Apple laptops have multiple tiny microphones.

* It listens to all of them at once: It takes the input from all the microphones.

* It figures out where the person talking is: It analyzes the sound to find the direction of the voice.

* It focuses on that voice: It boosts the sound coming from that direction.

* It quiets down the other noises: It reduces the sound from other directions, like background chatter.

So, instead of getting a muddy recording with lots of noise, you get a clearer recording of the person you want to hear. Basically, it makes your MacBook's microphones sound much better in noisy environments. And it's designed to work within audio programs that use a specific plugin format called LV2.
