Sound Design
Harmonic distortion refers to the alteration of an audio signal that occurs when additional harmonics, or frequencies that are integer multiples of the original signal's frequency, are introduced into the sound. This phenomenon is often a result of non-linear processing and can significantly impact the clarity and quality of audio. Understanding harmonic distortion is essential for both restoring audio fidelity in recordings and creatively manipulating sound within mixing environments.
