Is this song clipped?

[Fireitup]

I am not sure where to download a clean copy to test, i downloaded mine through spotify. The song in question is Bass Mekanik - Dr Oblivion. I wouldn't ask, but i swear when i play it i'm just waiting for my subs to seize up or, something in my car to break..

The ones i found on youtube are very low quality, and sound like shit. Just fyi.

Get the CD version. I'm not 100% sure so don't quote me quite yet, but I don't think any Bass Mekanik music is clipped?

Edit: Unless you've got some sort of crappy version of it

i doubt its clipped. those songs are meant for 0db and they are very loud. should only use a 0db test tone to set gains if you are playing that type of stuff or turn it down a

few notches

as someone who works with music a lot, you would be very surprised how many high quality tracks are clipped like crazy from the start. Whether off the CD or a copy downloaded from amazon. Im not saying all, but you would be very surprised

The source of obtaining the song doesn't matter, it won't be clean on the album but magically clipped on Amazon/iTunes or illegally downloaded. Only if the bass was altered then it could be clipped.

Only minor exception may be "mastered for Itunes" albums. The Great Gatsby has a Mastered for Itunes version but since it is also sold in stores I'm not sure if the pressed copy is mastered differently. This is actually interesting, my buddy bought the CD from Best Buy, I'll have to borrow it and run it through WMP and compare it to the Itunes version I have
