Is dubstep clipped?


Recommended Posts

I swear I seem a thread about this but can't find it. If someone does, feel free to lock this. Anyway, I love dubstep and I know a hand full of songs don't seem loud or clipped but pretty much most

Of them are loud. Kinda like swing my door loud.

In audacity the whole song is red but is it clipped or does it tend to hover around 0db? I never looked at the sine waves tho

Depending on the quality of the file you get.
Flac has very few reds, mp3 may have a good amount.

Has anyone used a program called MP3Gain before? Not sure how valid a program it is but I have used it before to see if a file is clipped and also to make soft songs louder. It works ok and is more simple than Audacity.

I don't see anything wrong with MP3 files for daily. I am sure comp wise best of the best but for daily why not? :shrug:

You can still play it if you really want to, just don't go full tilt. Just pay attention in case they do start to get smelly.

I just breezed thru a few of my dubstep MP3's and the ones I thought sounded clean are? Unless I am doing it wrong? The ones that sound clipped or harsh to me by ear were indeed clipped but I don't have very many. I just think this is a misconception.
