01ExSport Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 I been using this to "fix" my music tonight, not sure if it will make the sound worse/quieter/not hit as hard, find out in the am tom. Hopefully this guide is right... Really not taking me as long as I thought, after 40 tracks, im wizing right through them... lol Without watching that vid, it looks like one that was posted a while back, as far as i know Decaf made a couple posts and stated you couldn't remove clipping, because it just quiets down the clipping, leaving the waveform (?) unaffected. I wish I could find those threads, a lot of useful info in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could find those threads, a lot of useful info in them. Yea, Decaf actually talked about this specific video. You can't remove clipping because clipping is essentially loss of data so you can't remove something already lost. And in this video, all he is doing is changing how loud the bass is pretty much, clipping is completely still present. It's taken me almost 3 years to finally START to figure out how to make a song that I probably wouldn't play to be playable. Example: look at Decafs' version of My Sub & then look & the original. I'll try to take some screenshots when I can. Quote System: Basically Stock In process of upgrading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that video actually tells you to adjust the waveform in the equalizer setting, something about it will rebuild and reshape it to remove the square wave. Im just trying to learn how I can fix and mix up all of my music to my liking without ever having to worry about a "bad" signal right from the source ya know... Anybody who has musical experience, experience doing this type of thing to music mind chiming in and maybe linking a guide or "how to" ??

volvowith18psi Posted June 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 I did some of that checking on the actuall wave form itself you guys mentioned, and alot of them are not even squared, they just seem to peak off the Audacity meter. Like the peak point occurs off the viewable scale and it considers that clipped... Intersting... Maybe everything wasnt as bad as it seemed!

Decaf Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 that feature of red lines indicates the data reaching or exceeding 0dB, it does not define how far past 0dB. that is how you determine severity of clipping. compression of an audio file can result in that feature turning an entire song red, or it could really be horrendous boosting by a uneducated producer causing the red. either way, looking at the waveform by zooming in 10-14X will help shed light on if the music will be detrimental once amplified Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
