Hello there.

Can somebody explain to me the meaning of linear and non linear as I find it everywhere in the audio domain and i can't figure out clearly what it means...

Thanks

here you go:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonlinear

if you need to know more, please ask a bit more specifically. e.g. "what is a linear function" or something similar. (although this particular question is answered in the article above)

$ exp(j*pi) + 1 = 0. $

Thanks mate....So linear in simple words is when an eq lets say,is trying to keep the original material without any artifacts expect the processing it is going to input.

I think the Linear / non Linear terms were nicely explained...

What you are asking is maybe about a linear phase equalization process, which might barely scratch the linear meaning.

So as you said, in simple words (I thought you wanted the hardcore science) - a linear phase equalizer is designed to preserve the phase of the signal without introducing phase shifts throughout the frequency range. That means - you touch what you want to change more or less.
