- Miami decides to end the confusion between our favorite types of distortion. These are often confused in the audio community, but it's time for some clarification.

Next, explain phase vs polarity! It's annoying when "pros" even get it mixed up.
Sounds like a plan!

The audio saturation joke was on point. Great video as usual!
Thanks Aly! Wanted to hop in and do an education packed episode, but I always gotta sprinkle a joke in here or there

Just fond this channel Yesterday, loving the content!!!!!
Thanks Patrick! Appreciate it
-Miami
Always wanted to clear this out, such a clear explanation, thank you!
These videos are straight to the point, great!
Witty and engaging great break down, nice one.
Thanks for the explanation and good jokes lmao
Awesome explanation man! Great info to know!
Thanks Cory! It feels good to be back!

You do got jokes! Great video, very informative, thanks!
great video, would love to see a part two where you use each of the three in a mix
content amazing. i was just trying to figure this out. is there possibility of going in depth with this? stages of clipping etc. is it also possibility to go over this with amp distortion also? point of break of and full on distortion even discussing fizziness. maybe some uses for odd and even harmonic distortion? i always wondered which ones were the odd and even harmonic types of distortion which i just learned in this video.
It sure is! Always looking for ideas to further a video! I’m glad this came at an opportune time for you as well, Robert!

A detail, but I believe 600 is an odd harmonic of 200, not even (it's 200 x 3, and 3 is odd).
This was good, u made alot of things clear ,now my question clippers vs limiters whats the real difference?
Limiters are (for the most part) just compressors with a fixed infinite ratio, to push the signal down to "limit" the peaks. Clippers also limit the peaks but instead of pushing down the volume they simply chop off the peak of the waveform, adding in aggressive harmonic distortion. You should be careful with both because limiters are great at squishing your sound into a literal wall (can be good in some cases) and Clippers can sound nasty if pushed too far (or also awesome in some cases). Hoped this helped!
@@theinfant ohhkay got it,thank you so much dude,u made it very clear thanks!!
@@kshitijk14 glad I could help!
Really nice video, however you categorised distortion (which you wrote as distorsion) as linear, you're confusing symmetric and asymmetric distortion. all forms of distortion is non-linear just because the effect in the output signal is different depending on the gain of the input signal, by the same example compression is non linear because the effect changes depending on the input signal. the difference between a symmetric and asymmetric distortion is purely how the distortion affects the upcycle and downcycle of the waveform. if both polarities are affected the same, its symmetrical and it creates odd harmonics. if both polarities are affected differently, its an asymmetrical distortion and it will create even harmonics. outside of this error, it's a really good video. keep it up!
does this have to do with mono vs. stereo signal?
@@heiah nope
Engineer:"I think we should add some harmonic distortion to your vocal"
Artist:"WHAT?"
Glad to see you're feeling better Miami...
I do feel better, David! And yea lol, the terminologies are always a trip in a session

What is audio saturation?…
👌🏾😏
But wait....all this talk of overtones and clipping....I thought tone was “in the hands”???
Shhhh 🤫 someone might hear you
-Miami
Nobody talking gonna talk about 2:30? HAHAHAHAHAHA
Yooooo
Software into hardware.... Hmm
Soft clipping into hard clipping prob woulda landed better 😩
