Asymmetrical waveforms are due to a combination of factors related to how sound is generated, captured, and processed. In acoustic instruments, asymmetry often arises naturally from the way air or energy flows through the instrument, like the breath pressure in wind instruments or the vibrating lips in brass, creating more energy on one side of the waveform. Microphones and preamps can exaggerate this by responding unevenly to positive and negative pressures. In synthesizers, asymmetry can stem from certain waveform shapes, like sawtooth or pulse waves, which are inherently imbalanced. Other factors like unipolar modulation, analog filtering, distortion, and saturation can further emphasize asymmetry by amplifying or clipping one side of the waveform more than the other.
@@Hexspa oh I see. I get it ! I actually heard that correcting asymmetrical waveforms isn’t always as harmless as we think. There was that Adam Audio video where the mastering engineer mentioned he always corrects DC offset because it can add a bit of headroom and doesn’t actually affect the sound. But Nick at Panorama in Australia did some tests and found that there CAN be subtle changes, like “smudging” or “ringing.” I wish I could remember the details offhand-I’ll have to refresh my memory on that. I’m not sure it’s wise to blindly fix DC offset on everything, especially for full mixes. There’s a difference between addressing a real DC offset problem and dealing with naturally asymmetrical waveforms. A true DC offset could indicate an issue in your system, like bad wiring, while asymmetry in waveforms can just be a natural part of certain sounds.
I was shocked seeing how much headroom can be gained with this phase rotation function fixing a bit assymetrial waveforms. Mind boggling. Hope there'll be some good offer for MPS suite 6 owners
I do dig that new orange wave graphic. I don't think you should tell people its from mid journey though... BILL.. You saw what the AI snobs did to Andrew Huang when he used AI on his cover artwork. Danger!
Around minute 36, while discussing the PHASE Module, an example is given with 2 kicks and how to 'phase align' them but how do we set the sidechain track in the module???? I use Ableton Live 12
In abelton there is a dropdown selector where you can set the sidechain. It’s not actually in the plugin window. It’s in the chain at the bottom where all your plugins show up on the track
I think what would be cool is instead of a slider there should be an ancient haunted undead Skelton navel vessel steering wheel looking thing that you can turn left or right depending on if you want more and less transient. And that being said the entire neutron suite should look a little bit more gothic or undead haunted skeleton vibes. thats just one persons opinion though
I really love these walkthroughs because even if you had no idea what y’all are talking about it’s entertaining and exciting
ordering a telefunken spoon mic rn to get that jeff ellis secret sauce

Somebody saw an asymmetrical waveform and took it personally;)
@ I’m just doing what they asked ..
@@davidasher22 no I mean it’s good. I’m saying usually people only go that deep if it’s a persistent problem. Like, “I will knew this!” 🤣
Thank you!

Are you sure that Trevor is not Napoleon Dynamite?

Transient/sustain in the unmask module is going to be a game changer.

Thanks for going through the trouble lads
I have neutron 3, and it works great. The modules are useful, but I find the mix assistant is more work than it saves.

@@TREVORTAYLOREDITGOD OMG, thank you! I've never used any ext sidechain function other than on a compressor, which has it's own section for it
lmao trevor waving
Is that the same transient shaper from NI?
nope. much better
they look all so stoned hahah
LETS GET DENSE
IZOTOPE/Jamie…. PLEASE make the size of the attack and sustain sliders bigger on the transient shaper 😭🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

@@JeffEllisWorldwide Jeff you’re too creative man 😂😂
Jeffy neutron
The spoon doesn't exist.
@jeffellisworldwide get that blood vessel out of ur shiny head
i know that you like ozone. me too. but i would like to know if you really use neutron sometimes in your productions? thanks
I use the transient shaper a lot and have already tried the new phase module on a mix. I also use the sculptors Sometimes
