Autruche Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Keep in mind that audacity will highlight a DC offset of just a few samples when you use the "check clipping" function. Even a really low note (mid 20s) can make Audacity freak out because it's such a gradual up and down motion. Your best bet to see clipping is to play the song in Windows Media Player with the scope visualization on. If there is visible clipping (horizontal flat spots) in the bass line that way, then you may have issues with that song. You could even more accurately see what your bass amp sees by first running a 100Hz 12dB/octave Low Pass Filter to the song and exporting it in audacity, then playing that file in Windows Media Player with the scope visualization on.

SPLWGN Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Anybody else realise that you don't have to use windows media player, audacity shows horizontal flat spots (clipping) too.....just gotta zoom in, I find it easier personally...

RooTxBeeR Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 I really don't understand how to get it from windows media player, I am listening to songs with the scope visualization, guess i just dont know what to look for.

SPLWGN Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 An unclipped sound wave should be curved, like a wave, but in some/many songs there will be flat spots, mainly when the bass note first hits, those flat spots you see instead of waves are clipping.....use audacity, zoom in a fair bit, play the song you think is clipped and just keep an eye out for horizontal flat spots \_/ \_/ \_/ <<< kinda like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RooTxBeeR Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 K, I used WMP and with scope, was just one line across and it moved way to fast to see if there was anything.
