Stereoobertonieren

Stereoobertonieren is a hypothetical concept within audio engineering and sound synthesis. It refers to the intentional manipulation or emphasis of the overtone series (harmonics) present in a stereo sound field. While the overtone series is a fundamental aspect of sound timbre, stereoobertonieren suggests a specific artistic or technical approach where these upper partials are treated as independent elements within the left and right channels of a stereo image.

The idea might involve techniques such as spectral processing applied differently to the left and right channels, or the use of specialized synthesizers capable of generating and spatially positioning individual harmonics. The goal could be to create a more immersive or complex spatial audio experience, to enhance the perceived richness of a sound, or to achieve unique timbral effects not possible with traditional stereo processing.

Practical applications of stereoobertonieren are not widely documented in standard audio production. It remains more of a theoretical concept or a niche area of experimental sound design. Research in areas like ambisonics and advanced spatial audio might touch upon related principles, where individual frequency components are manipulated for spatial placement. However, the term "stereoobertonieren" itself is not a recognized standard in the industry and likely originates from speculative discussions or specialized academic research.
