◼︎ What is the waveform The waveform is a graphical representation of an audio signal that shows the amplitude of the signal over time. It plots the signal's voltage or pressure values on the vertical axis against time on the horizontal axis. A waveform can provide a visual representation of various characteristics of an audio signal, such as its frequency, amplitude, phase, and waveform shape. By analyzing the waveform, one can gain insights into the nature of the sound, such as whether it is a sine wave, a complex waveform, or a noise signal. Waveforms are commonly used in various audio applications, such as sound recording, mixing, and mastering. For example, engineers can use waveforms to identify and correct audio problems, such as clipping, distortion, or noise, by visualizing the problematic sections of the waveform and adjusting the audio signal accordingly. In addition to waveforms, other common tools used in audio signal processing include spectrograms, which show the fr...
