Skewed waveforms
What does it mean when the waveform of a sound is essentially symmetrical,
except that the positive excursions of the wave are bigger than the negative excursions, so that it looks a bit lopsided? And what does it mean when a wave form looks as though it has been raised or lowered as a whole, so that what would have been the zero crossings are now above or below zero? I've seen both occasionally but I haven't been able to determine what circumstances cause them. Someone here said something about trombones not producing symmetrical waveforms, which reminded me of these anomalies. How or why would a particular instrument produce a waveform that isn't symmetrical around zero? |
