Like the sound frequencies in a studio? No way! (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

audio

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'like the sound frequencies' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'a studio? no way' is the wordplay.
'no' suggests deleting specific letters.
'way' becomes 'st'.
'studio' with 'st' taken away is 'udio'.
'a'+'udio'='AUDIO'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for audio that I've seen before include "Denoting sound" , "Car" , "type of reproduction" , "- Tape; - typist" , "Recording of acoustic signals" .)
