You Don't Understand Saturation
Saturation is one of the most important topics in music production. Saturation along with EQ and compression make up the most important tools we have for shaping sounds. Saturation adds a warmth and character to a track and can make a track professional sounding. In this video I describe the basics of saturation and harmonics and lay the groundwork for more advanced topics in distortion. Check out my music: / iamsseb Follow me: / i_am_sseb / i_am_sseb Note: The square wave at 8:25 is only 3 harmonics. If the sine wave was actually passed into the saturation curve it would become a wave similar to this: https://qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg...
