How does a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) work in modern music production?

I’m trying to wrap my head around digital signal processing in the context of music production. Could someone break down what a DSP actually does, how it manipulates audio data in real time, and which basic algorithms (like filtering, compression, and reverb) are typically involved? Also, how does latency factor into the workflow, and what are common ways producers mitigate it? Any simple analogies would help too.
