This is probably a dumb question but what does it mean when the waves stretch further down to the bottom than to the top when viewing a sound file in audacity. Pic related.

Also what does inverting it do? I can never hear a difference
try asking /prod/
>>60860084
Different harmonics in the instrument, it doesn't really mean anything. When I make brassy synth sounds that tends to happen. Inverting the wave flips the wave around, you won't hear anything different. It's used to stop phasing,
Doesn't it mean more low end?
>>60860084
its playing more on one channel than the other.
>>60860355
wrong. There's two charts. One for left. One for right.
>>60860355
bad dubs get
>>60860159
yeah I want to know this too
Sound melts at room temperature
the waves below the centre line are bass and the ones above it are treble

oh my god, you clearly have no place anywhere near a computer. please go.
>>60860297
someone slept through middle school physics thinking it would have no impact on "the real world"
that's caused by DC offset
>>60860159
I don't know how it changes the actual sound, but if you split a stereo track, invert only one channel, and then mix both channels into a mono track, any sounds playing with equal volume in both channels will be completely cancelled out (because the inverted waveform is the exact opposite sound of what's playing in the other channel, which turns the waveform into a flat line).
Also it just generally sounds pretty weird when you invert one channel and keep them stereo because technically the sounds are still exact opposites but because they're coming out of two speakers/headphones you can hear both at the same time.
>>60860084
it looks like most of the activity rests on the centre line
my guess is that it's the peak part of a kick drum which just happens to be below the centre line each time, and not dc offset
It's caused by excessive eq, causing a phase shift. Try using a linear phase eq.

They don't teach wav forms in audacity in physic class you dipshits
>>60860159
>>60860084
My guess, is that, if you think of a speaker, when the cone vibrates, it moves in and out, so I think that the blue wave is supposed to represent the position of the cone relative to the "center" (where it would be with no music playing). That's my guess.
>>60860084
more lows than highs
It means that the rarefaction (region of low air pressure) has more information than the compression (up)
