Google "Loudness wars" Nearly all recording engineers try very hard to eliminate clipping in the digital domain. Mastering engineers have a gun to their head with the client yelling "make it louder" The reality is that old analog tape decks would not really clip, they would compress as they saturate. But in the digital world, once you get to 64K in a 16 bit value, its all over. -- pfarrell Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pfarrell's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=200 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55212 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
