It isnt impossible to do it, but it is a very very timely process.

soo.. hoow?

[fmedina]

any help?

[Kranny]

i forget exactly how but you have to reshape each individual wave bend. and it doesnt matter how high the encoding rate is, you can still clip.

[fmedina]

dam it dude. ok thanks

[Amerrricuh]

well if you normalize it at -0.1 db all the red lines go away. but i dont think it stops the clipping.

[fmedina]

what does normalizing it do? i tried it and i could barely hear the music

[Amerrricuh]

doing it as -0.1 db really doesnt make a difference in how loud it is, its just enough to get rid of those lines and it makes me feel better to play the song lol

[fmedina]

oh wait nvm i did it again and it barely changed the volume. but thanks that helps a lil lol

[korey_hofer]

audacity has a setting that fixes clipping

[fmedina]

ya i tried that too and it doesnt really work lol idk if im doing it wrong or what. how does decaf do it? i tried to slow some song and boost the bass but i get major cliping

[korey_hofer]

you have to rebuild the bass line not boost bass.
and you need a good copy to begin with, now you should realize why people like me constantly complain about the quality most music is recorded at

[fmedina]

lol ya i feel ya. i like good quality songs myself too

[fmedina]

anyone know how to rebuild the bass line??

Rebuilding it meaning, I'm pretty sure, lowering the bass completely and re-doing it using Fruity Loops or something...don't even bother with it. Honestly don't worry about clipping too much unless its like Gucci's "Swing My Door" where its audibly very distorted and when using the oscope in WMP you see the waves make a HUGE square peak

But I'm trying to slow and enhance the bass on some if my songs but it clips like crazy. I'll just leave it to decaf and bigpimpin to do that lol. I give up.

[Baydestrian]

If it already clips then don't enhance it....you are probably boosting TOO much, in the bass boost go by 6db at first and see if it clips, if it doesn't and you can do more then undo and boost by 8db or 10db and see what happens.

[fmedina]

for sure thanks thanks
