OrenB217 Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 (edited) I didnt know what section this topic can go under, but I made a soundtrack using 12 songs i downloaded from itunes, and 7 from Ares/PP (illegal sites lol) and he complained of clipping which is supposedly bad for your subs (literally on all the songs, most which came from itunes). Has anyone else had this problem and is there an alternative site for downloading songs. I mean, what are ways to tell if songs are clipped?

basshead4life Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 (edited) yes clipping is bad for subs because it sends a dc signal to the subs which heats them up fast. and use zshare lots of songs and its completely legal.

Berto Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 I downloaded a song off of iTunes once and I played it on my last system and it blew the coils on my 2 12s, I'm not really sure if it was the songs fault but that's what happened to me once.

treossi Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 (edited) sometimes the people that rip the cds that they upload to p2p sites, are highly compressed, = bad quality, that could cause clipping, and just a straight nasty sounding cd, most torrent websites ( if you're going to steal music) will have them in high quality Edited June 21, 2009 by treossi Quote Team sundownWESTCOASTSPL.COM we're throwing dbdrag events very soon visit the website for details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
