dwz Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) i dont want to get to far in depth, but....there are also alot of buyers of cds, that have the album ripped into the same folders being shared on things like limewire... so the arguement isnt credible unless your designating that u mean dj only stuff... ive found plenty of what seemed to be cd quaility along with the correct id3 tags songs from limewire 80% means nothing, there is no volume everything that is ever recorded is set too, so 80% on classical =/= 80% souljaboy u blew ur interiors because you couldnt distinguish the distortion before it did damage you likely also blew interiors playing songs well below the range of the stock speakers... sending anything below 100hz to a stock stereo speaker is relatively pointless... less it be bose or something that might have crossovers involved i thought almost everyone blows stock speakers, lol... i beat the shit out of my stuff... lol... blown stock speakers are a good way to learn how a speaker is put together once u tear it apart like i do... lol... see how badly i smashed the vc former lesson learned: look at every song u download thru an osciloscope... use audacity or equivalent... otherwise ur gonna be playing clipped shit, all the time... unless you are a rare breed that only buys cds, which can still be clipped hmm ive noticed t-pain can be hard to find clean I blew my interiors because the distortion present in the songs combined with being uneducated about distortion led me to play it above what the speakers are capable of. That's my point exactly. Why does everyone have be experts in Car Audio to know when to stop turning up the volume? Why is the distortion even present in the music in the first place? My argument is that anyone involved in music should be educated enough about clipping so that they don't have to leave it up to the consumers to fix their mistakes. Just to clarify: I agree with what you're saying. I agree that people should know more about music than they do. I just wish the mixtape DJs and a few production companies knew their shit, considering speakers are used to play their music in the first place.

It pisses me off when the entire internet doesn't know that bass boost can kill subs. We need somebody famouse like Dr. Dre to release a song about what clipping is lol.

You can detect the subs clipping when it overpowers the highs.

bossgator Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 just a question.. Are songs from itunes clipped? Quote four sundown 3500s four IA death penalties 18 in in a chevy 1500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJD3 Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) just a question.. Are songs from itunes clipped? They shouldn't be the same way a CD shouldn't be clipped. But sometimes, the production crew sucks and cranks out CDs where the track(s) is clipped. Basically, if a CD is clipped, chances are the iTunes version is and vice versa.
