For example harmonic Distortion( usually called warmth) produced by tube amps is one of the more preffered types of Distortion. Most people reading this may think that noise is something to be completely avoided […]
What Is The Difference Between Sound And Acoustics?
Sound and acoustics are probably two words that you’ve probably come across before. Granted they’re quite the technical terms in fields like audio production but they’re still basic terms that almost anyone will encounter at one point or another.
