![]() Normal waves that are within the proper threshold sound smooth. In the original signal, you can see that the sine wave exceeds the threshold of the device. We mentioned clipping in a previous article, HTG Explains: How Does Dynamic Range Compression Change Audio? Compression helps prevent clipping, but in this case, we want to emphasize it. Clipping and Distortionīasic overdrive and guitar distortion can be visualized by the effect of clipping. But how does it all work? To answer that, we need to look at how sine waves are affected by volume. The world of music indeed has quite a few different types. But what makes them so different? Let’s take a closer look at what happens to audio signals as they pass through these relatively simple devices.ĭistortion is a general term for any modification to an audio signal that provides a significant alteration. With so many musical genres, it’s no surprise there are plenty distortion pedals out there.
