Harmonics Activity

Download and open this Harmonics Pro Tools session.

• This session contains harmonics of a 240Hz sine wave (up to the 20th harmonic)

• Their levels have been carefully set so the 2nd harmonic is ½ the level (-6dB), the 3rd is ⅓ the level, 4th at ¼ level etc. (Don’t move the faders!)

• All the tracks are outputted to a track called SUMMING so they can be combined together and recorded

• Set the SUMMING track to Record Enable (red button under track name)

• Record the sum of all the harmonics…

• What kind of waveform have you made?
