MrSkippyJ Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Can clipping be in songs bought through iTunes? Definitely unless it's ALAC (Apple Lossless) but I don't think iTunes does that, the highest bit rate I've seen when bought through iTunes was 256kbps but I could be wrong. There can still be clipping in Apple lossless.

There can still be clipping in Apple lossless. this be leery of large flat bass lines when using WMP Oscope. we play clipped mids/highs everyday of our lives. the reason we dont ruin as many small speakers is less wattage which = less heat. theres a reason speakers have a RMS and Peak power rating... when you run your system with RMS power theres room to have some clipping because for split seconds the speakers can take double/triple RMS, aka peak power. now when everyone in their mother thinks they can double rms on their subs and play the loudest music available it doesnt take much for problems to occur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillaCam Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Just don't blare it. I know for me I can tell if a song isn't sounding right so I either just turn it down or find a new song. I also try to get all of my music at 320kbps. And the fact more than one person agrees does not make it a circle jerk, it makes it a bukkake scene and you're in the middle Chick took 3 shots of Jager, and then, pissed in my mouth..

Fish Chris Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 But the $10K question is > Why TF do recording studios record anything clipped in the first place ? Oh sure, their will always be a bunch of dumb-asses on the street that won't know the difference, one way or the other..... But shouldn't a professional recording studio know when signals are clipped, and know how to avoid this ? Hmmmm... Fish Just don't blare it.

Bacy2k Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 i kinda thought along the same lines as fish on this matter. doesnt make sense why the studio doesnt put out 100% clean music. not saying there arent studios that dont, but i wonder what percentage of big record labels actually put out completely clean songs.

RooTxBeeR Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Does the bitrate of a song at all effect if it clips or not? most of my music is 128-320, with a select few under that, I even have 1 song that is 1411 bitrate, lol its 40.5mb big On 11/20/2012 at 8:54 PM, AMI CUSTOMS said: Turned mine up today at a light, guy next to me his steering wheel started moving and he looked over at me like I was a magician lol.

Decaf Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Just don't blare it. I know for me I can tell if a song isn't sounding right so I either just turn it down or find a new song. I also try to get all of my music at 320kbps. exactly, for mids/highs u can hear distortion sooner. with sub bass you will notice a lot more voltage drop at a volume lower than cleaner songs as the clipping produces more power i can clip a flac file... but the higher the quality the less likely compression resulted in some slight dc offset/clipping/red on audacity a simple test is to find a loud song and open audacity, save it. reopen that file and save again but at a lower quality (96kbps for instance) and notice how there tends to be more red than the higher quality version. you might not even be able to hear the difference, but its there and thats clipping from compression. pretty common But the $10K question is > Why TF do recording studios record anything clipped in the first place ?

I know for me I can tell if a song isn't sounding right so I either just turn it down or find a new song. I also try to get all of my music at 320kbps. i mentioned this before in another thread. rick rubin one of the most prolific record producers always loved to "push the needles into red." red being clipping. its in all rock music. its what makes a kick, well, kick-y. its what makes that o so familiar thud in rap. studios blow tweeters, rock tours bake coils and car audio brah's fry amps. it benefits to know what sounds clean and what sounds dirty so you can proactively adjust volume/settings so you are less likely to do damage. i kinda thought along the same lines as fish on this matter. doesnt make sense why the studio doesnt put out 100% clean music. not saying there arent studios that dont, but i wonder what percentage of big record labels actually put out completely clean songs. plenty. but i dont think they anticipate their music shaking windows 2" back and forth. knowing your voltage at all times helps alot as that points out problems with bass clipping real fast Does the bitrate of a song at all effect if it clips or not? most of my music is 128-320, with a select few under that, I even have 1 song that is 1411 bitrate, lol its 40.5mb big compression can cause a little bit but nothing to really worry about. kbps should not be a determining factor if a song is clean, it justs means how much it was compressed from its original form. a cd is 1411kbps, you likely have a lossless or flac file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omegagamer2 Posted December 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 So I can play most clipped music, as long as I use the reccomended RMS power? What did the guy mean when he said clipped signals are worse than clipped songs? How do you clip a signal? PS:Another question. Is it generally a good idea to keep bass boost off? And if I keep RMS power for all my tweeters, mids, and subs, I can blare it full volume all I want?(Once again, keeping in mind, not swing my door shit).
