WARM: an audio term that confuses me... help?
first off, nung bata bata pa ako: "brown sound" as in EVH. I always thought that 'brown' meant, hmmm, lacked treble. but then again, EVH's tone is actually very bright. So, dinedma ko na lang yun.
pero when it comes to, say, microphones or recording equipment, can someone shed some light with the term 'WARM'? the uninitiated (like me) would readily conclude that warm equals more lower mids and bass when we do encounter the word (magazines/internet).
tingin ko kasalanan ito ng mga marketing people eh.
medyo confusing na kase talaga eh: "oh this mic preamp really sounds warm" or "tube amps are warm compared to solidstate amps" etc etc.
noted ko na po ang subjective nature nitong word... baka may audio samples kayo demonstrating warm vs 'cold', if there's such a thing, share niyo naman.
what does 'warm' look like on a spectrum analyzer?
is 'warm' much more related to 'hot' (as in high gain) rather than frequency characteristics (low mid high)?
pasensya na ha, i hear people use the word all the time but their 'quiao quiao' dont help.
hmmm alam kong meron pang ibang mga terms na subjective din ang meaning eh... isipin ko pa. baka may ma-dagdag pa kayo.
thanks in advance!
