Did I understand octaves correctly? They are simple those notes played at double, triple, etc. the frequency? So if F had a frequency of 21 Hz, a note played two octaves higher would be 63 Hz?
No. Octaves are always either doubling or halving the frequency. So an octave above 21 Hz is 42 Hz and two octaves is is 84 Hz and the next is 168 Hz and so on.
