412 CVX Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 clipping shows up in red I have a mac, idk if it's different View --> slow clipping select all (ctrl + A) Effect --> normalize (-0.01db) this is what I do anyway and it removes most, if not all of the red it seems to make it quieter. I have no idea how to use audacity though. Quote Just say no to Ground Pounder Customs. My temp system build log More box buildssome cars do over 170db with one sub, so clearly my two 12"s can do that in my car, with my knowledge too! look out bitches! I'm with captain stupid.

Crandis16 Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 I should just give up now and get music from trusted sources then? Now I'm listening to a lot of Bigpimpin91's stuff as well as Throw N' Slow. Most of it doesn't show a lot of clipping when putting it into audacity, but I'm still worried that I'll blow my sub again Quote My Red zx2 Build Log My Black zx2 Build Log My Red zx2 UBL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

412 CVX Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 A little clipping doesn't kill. Clipping just makes it harder for subs to cool correctly. as long as your music doesn't look like this, you should be alright. Quote Just say no to Ground Pounder Customs.

Baydestrian Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Crandis still with the 128mb songs lmfao...kbps buddy, kbps Stop worrying about clipping, just be smart with the volume knob when you know a song isn't super clean. Show Clpping indicator in Audacity is essentially pointless. Open WMP and right click, Visualizations>Bars & Waves>Scope. Then play songs and watch for squared off waves. If a song is audibly distorted, i.e. Gucci Mane - Swing My Door, then don't play it. Ever. Like said there is the rebuilding of the wave but at the same time since its clipped its already lost all the information in the song so whats the point of rebuilding anyways. I play my headunit at 28/35 (speakers ran off deck) and play quite a bit of clipped music. Sub still plays fine. Headunit at a volume that it doesn't clip and amp gain set so there is no clipping (basically no equipment signal clipping) then you will be fine with a bit of musical clipping.

ChevyBoy95 Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 (edited) fyi, red isnt clipping in audacity, it just means the wave is either 0db or over. even when you do "show clipping" it really only shows where the wave spikes to over 0db. you can make a clean generated 50hz wave in audacity, and put the amplitude to 1 (amplitude of 1 = 0db in audacity) and it will be solid red. better yet, generate a saw tooth or square wave with the generator and the show clipping on. edit: one way to do it is zoom in REALLY close in audacity until you can see the actually wave forms crests and troughs. do this in the heavy bass lines and check to see if everything is rounded or jagged/squarish.
