Subject: ac vs dc question

hello everybody!
i'm having trouble understanding the difference between ac and dc
waveforms; and also between ac or dc coupled waveforms, and how this
affects functioning of certain modules (particularly the '110
vca/ringmod).
i've been reading a lot of manuals - arp 2600, emu, serge gold book -
but alas, i've managed to get more confused ;o)
so, i was hoping some of you wizzards could help me out with this.
(i'm also confused about "waveforms with a dc offset/component")
i do understand that ac is alternating current, though ;o)
is there some relationship between
ac = audio freq voltage
dc = control voltage?
though some audio freq are not 'alternating'?
thanks!
greetings,
chef!
