25 Questions

1.
Top to right;then;bottom to right
-(can use to master)
-good for guitar sounds

2.
Makes wave almost square

3.
Determines relationship between # of impact and preserve samples

4.
Horizontal analysis
-Amount of samples per second

5. Lowest freq. ; determines pitch of sound

6. Harmonic distortion adds new harmonics that are musically related to the input signal. This introduction of new harmonics changes the character and timbre of the sound, often resulting in a richer and more charismatic tone.

7. whole number multiples of the fundamental frequency

8.
It needs the harmonics to create the wave.

9. Reduces sample rate of signal

10.
Sets the freq. of preband filtering

11.
Like clip, but gives back everything everything in threshold but inverse.

12.
Mix of distorted sound
-turn right for more of distortion

13.
Selects freq. band to be distorted
-the more turned, the wider the band
-Level of distortion

14.
Overdrives audio for distortion
-Composite with post knob

15.
Instead of average volume of each sample, in changes to the amount

16. Takes down resolution and sample rate by lowering bit depth

17.
Amount of input signal sent into clip
-Useful for punchier basses and kicks

18.
When the signal is reconstructed from sample in a different from original continuous signal(will render high octaves useless)

19.
More vertical
-The accuracy of sample
-The bigger dynamic range can be caputured

20. whole-number multiples of a sound's fundamental frequency that psychoacoustically excite the overall timbre, adding depth, color, presence, character or warmth to a sound.

21.
Overflowing input signal (gain), makes aggressive sound

22. Sounds amplified to limit of given device.
-Additive harmonics
-change in wave shape gives more harmonica
-Adds pleasent sounding harmonics

23.
Band filtering before overdrive
-takes away lots of muffled sounds

24.
Volume gain, use of too loud

25.
LP filter; cleanup of distortion
