Can an oscope app pick up clipping/distortion???

Just got a few oscope apps for Android, and wondering if they could successfully pick up clipping or distortion by showing a square wave?

It uses the mic on my tablet, and is very sensitive.

I don't know enough about gadgetry to begin to guess. If it is so, that would be super duper.

Thanks

what apps are you using. I know right where my system distorts and have an o-scope handy to test accuracy. I can try them out and let you know

once you get a speaker moving so hard that its possible to make tinsels slap, you are already kissing "SQ" goodbye. :D

Don't get me wrong, as I smoke Marlboro Reds, but if I saw one more kid with that smug-ass look (Look at me I'm smoking indoors) on their face, I was going to shove that thing so far up someone's ass that they'd look like a hillbilly trying to understand quantitative prediction theorem.

You know why people are ass holes online but not in person? Because getting punched in the mouth hurts.

Clipping is a measurement if the power it's producing and nit the sound you get from the speaker so a mic can't measure that.

clipping is where the voltage exceeds our tries to go out of it's voltage rails, a microphone can't see that.

Using a mic-based app you will never correctly pick up where the wave distorts.

This. Clipping and distortion are two different things.

There is no app that is going to give you anything accurate.

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 ;)

this is what I was afraid of thats why I wanted to test it and see how bad off it really was. but I think you are going to need to put down the money for a dd1 or an actual o-scope.

Ehhh, I've got a scope, but it's at my other home in FL.

I think I'll just buy a dd1 and another oscope. Anyone have a decent link to how the dd1 works, like some good tech info???

My Google-Fu is weak at the moment...
