We could also include distortion effects here as they affect timbral content – the most common are fuzz pedals or analogue overdriven valve amplifiers – but in electronic music digital ‘bit crushers’ and other effects that force the audio resolution are greatly used as well. Psychoacoustic effects The original sound is made to be perceived as more or less spacious or enhanced in terms of its frequency content. This is effected by stereo spreader imaging (to enlarge the perceived stereo image), exciters, enhancers and sub-bass processors.

Add to that the noise from your amplifier (if you don’t have active loudspeakers, which have typically quiet amplifiers) and you already have a noise floor to deal with! Imagine what it was like when, to all of this, you had to add tape hiss (the noise of the media itself). And, of course, you may also have unwanted emphasis on your music given by the room acoustics (potential standing waves). You can dampen a room with various materials. e. 13 By looking up these values you can make informed decisions regarding materials like curtains or drapes, carpets, floors and acoustic tiles.

This is then repeated each third zero-crossing. As seen earlier, the time elapsed between these is called the period of the wave, and the fact that we can detect this repetitive period allows us to call this a periodic waveform. 13 The period of a wave is measured as its phase. If we take two identical waveforms and layer them, offsetting one from the other, this offset is known as the phase between the two waves. But why do we need to know this? If we record a sound with two microphones, and one is much further from the source than the other, they will receive the sound at slightly different times.
