do you guys factor this stuff in when recording or mixing?
i can see how it would come in handy on something like a kick drum, but can you even bother with it with an instrument that's constantly changing notes?
how do you go about finding the fundamental of an instrument? trial and error, or is there a way to find it in software? if it's trial and error it seems like you could be off a few hz/khz and cut or boost wrong. once you find it, do you cut the 7th and 11th harmonics since they're unrelated pitch and bad sounding?
also, does the tube/analog preamp add even harmonics and the transistor odd harmonics, and this is why many of us feel the transistor gear sounds "cold"? i didn't a search for fundamentals, overtones, and harmonic content and nothing came up. i was really surprised this hasn't been discussed.
