viper1315 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Hey guys so i have a couple questions. well i have been using audacity to see if my music is clipped and well a lot of it actually is which is sad because i even purchased some of it on itunes. But is it fine to have a little clipping or NONE at all? and where can i get some clean music. where do you get your music? secondly you know how Ipods have EQs in them with different sounds like ROCK BASS FLAT and such. do you keep it on flat to prevent further clipping or does it not matter? I will have my system Checked with a DD-1 when my amp comes in. Please let me know guys thanks. 2001 GMC Sierra DC Audio Build =http://www.stevemead...o-level-4-build 2001 GMC Sierra XSPower D3400 Pioneer AVHD 1400 MB Quart Component Sets Pioneer 5x4s Audiotechnix Power Wire, Speaker Wire, Sound Deadener DC Audio Level 4 10s DC Audio 3.5k Rocford Fosgate R400-4 HID 6k Slammed Truck on 20s Candy Blue.

draper Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 djs and music producers dont produce music just for car audio so they arent worried about clipping as much as tey should be. Clipping is OK IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR PLAYING AND PLAY IT ACCORDINGLY... So say when a songs low frequency waves are sqaured off don't play bass at full tilt. 97 crown vic kenwood hu big 3 mechman 270 amp alt 1 d3400 2 d3100 hiffonics collosus (bass) Hifonics Zues (mids and highs) 2 15in kicker l7s dynamat extreme sound deadner viper secured Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masshole891 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 To answer the Ipod question, I think it would definitely be safest to leave it on flat. Also dont have the volume on the Ipod maxed out (I'd leave it at 3/4) because from what I've read that can also cause clipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 most ipods are clip free at like 95-98% volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillaCam Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Audacity does not show the clipping you're looking for. So if a song has a lot of red in it, it might not be as bad as you think. As for the iPod its better to play it threw usb rather than aux. edit: A better way to find clipping would be to play a song with the scope visualization in wmp. Look for flats and plateaus for clipping. 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..
