Absolutely. If you want that harmonic distortion that humans<br>
psycho-acoustically refer to as warmth, sum through a really cool<br>

Monty's videos are my go-to videos when I don't want to have to<br>
explain, for the 100th time, that there are no stair steps, which these<br>
days, is every time.<br>
<br>
Another great video I use whenever someone keeps shoveling heaps of<br>
audio snake-oil into conversations is this one, on audio myths:<br>
