Tutorial: T15 - All About: Timbre

Abstract:
One of the most important properties of audio, timbre’s definition may be broader than you think. Distilling timbre into its essential elements reveals its rich meaning and lets us make a direct connection between it and the decisions, actions, and devices that drive it. Much is in the hands of the performer—their technique and their instrument. Engineers have obvious impact through microphone choice and placement. But we also focus on how to use compression, delay, reverb, and distortion effects to refine timbre.
