33 - All Kinds of Distortion

Send us a text


Distortion is present in all electronic audio equipment and on
all recordings. Sometimes it is part of the sound, such as in an
electric guitar.


But distortion is usually something we try to avoid.


In this episode, I go through the most common types of
distortion, their impact on the listener, where the distortion
comes from, and what we can do to minimize it.


This is somewhat technical, but I try to keep the explanations
simple. Learning how to identify the sources of distortion, and
how to mitigate them, should help you make better recordings.


I’ve recently added a new feature to the dougfearn.com web site.
You can now read transcripts of many of the podcast episodes
online, and download them is you like. Not all episodes have
transcripts, just those that are scripted. Let me know if you
find the transcripts useful.
