Distortion is arguably the most revolutionary audio effect. I don`t think I would fall in love with electric guitar if it still sounded the way it was initially designed in 50s
Fall in love with hi-gain amps then. I am really fascinated by these amps, because many of them have such an elaborate stacking of distortion-stages, its amazing.
The illustration of the sine wave folding back in on itself to add harmonics was super insightful. Your channel has evangelized me to the power of saturation and distortion!
This is by far my favourite and most informative video I've seen on this channel and I've been a sub for years now. Truly exceptional 🙏🏾 Thank you so much!! How I wish I knew the face behind the voice because bro is a genius! For me, you're almost on the same calibre as Dan Worrall! Truly spectacular, concise, practical and straight to the point. No fluff
It's embarassing to admit that I've been in this field for over 15 years and yet I never fully grasped the added harmonic concept you've explained at 1:40 🤦♂️ Once again, your way of explaining these topics is remarkably clear! Thank you for filling all of those gaps in our collective knowledge!
This video is a masterpiece of audio engineering! Congratulations on the excellent work of demonstrating so didactically and in detail what distortion and saturation are, effects that are so important for all music lovers! You rock! 👏🏼👏🏼
Okay, finally a very distinctive explanation of how distortion works based upon music theory. Never could really wrap my head around how distortion influences harmonics completely. ❤ Yes, I know how that works, but the math behind it were mostly a mist to me!
Awesome explanation! I don't hear my favorite rectification distortion mentioned very often. Also, tangentially related pro tip: try automating distortion levels! A lot of people just set it at a fixed level, but it can be used very creatively.
I have to admit that I never bought into this "odd order harmonics" are unpleasant or aggressive. To me, they have a more clear cut shimmer and sound more hollow than even order distortion. And despite being a metalhead, I enjoy most signals without added distortion. Just to say there also exist different aesthetic ideals.
Can make video where u showcase free and payed plugins how to differently mix odd and even harmonics for a song, and what if u oversample ur saturation plugin should u use different feedback frequencies?
I want to use your channel. But you gotta have playlists. 1). Easier to navigate to desired topics 2). Disorder with an overwhelming number of videos and topics isn’t great for growing your channel
This channel became mor scientifique than musical after all music it's all about feelings we don't need all this science to bring a vibe to the audience please comback to the music i don't wanna be einstein i wanna be Mix by Ali
I’m a long-time subscriber to Sage Audio. I know this is a channel primarily about audio engineering. This is a very useful science that explains most feelings we get when we listen to good music. I want punchy drums in my mixes, and instrumentation that sounds exciting and tight. And I think this is the best video Sage Audio has released so far. Don't ignore the valuable knowledge that were made available for free on this channel.

@@johannalvarsson9299 technically yes. But only E. guitar sounds THAT good with it.

Finally a great description of why some hardware and plugins sound 'musical' !

Now thats distorted my view of distortion in an even ordered harmonic wayy.. Thank you!!! 😎🙏🕊️

two ads in a 13 min video is diabolical. Great vid tho

nice video good info on distortion, useful
So informative channel 🫶

Depends on who you ask 🤣
