    440 Hz = 440 times per second! In all my enthusiasm I misspoke.

      Paul Davids hey ! How do you build up obertones (are they fifth, octaves,... ?) great video btw !

    • @alexis1156
      @alexis1156 6 лет назад

      Those overtones are actually much higher in db then i thought they would be.
      I thought that overtones would be much lover in db compared to the fundamental, but they are actually pretty close, or at least so it seems looking at the graph.

    It's really quite interesting how at first it sounds like your adding a second voice, but the more overtones you add, the less that effect becomes and the more it again seems like one single note. Cool video!

    I know the song, I listen to them often, but when you played Do I Wanna Know fully overtoned on guitar with the overdriven overdrive, my whole body got goosebumps... I don't know how you pulled it off.

  • @warrenmillar7157
    @warrenmillar7157 6 лет назад

    Thank you. It now makes sense. I could never understand how a tone knob could affect the tone of a single note on a string because I always assumed that the note was a pure note, like the pure 440 note you showed.

    Cool video & nice editing!! It's amazing how full your tone can get with a few overdubs. I cheat and record the same riff through 4 different amps at once and blend that mess up. It's almost as good, but still not as full as a good set of overdubs. Smashing Pumpkins did this ad nauseam! For example, many of the songs on Siamese Dream have as many as 100 guitar parts! If you listened to some of those tracks alone, they would sound HORRIBLE because they were just a fraction of the dynamic range... but blended together... it's heaven!

  • @okutaviof
    @okutaviof Год назад

    I don't know about what are the overtones for a given note. Check this from chatgpt: :
    When a string is plucked in different locations, it can produce different overtones, which are higher frequency vibrations that occur at multiples of the fundamental frequency. These overtones contribute to the overall sound of the note, and their relative strengths can be affected by where the string is plucked.
    For example, if a string is plucked closer to the bridge of the instrument, it will produce a brighter and more metallic tone, because the higher overtones are more prominent in the sound wave. On the other hand, if the string is plucked closer to the middle of the string, it will produce a warmer and more mellow tone, because the lower overtones are more prominent.
