b_smiff Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 I downloaded audacity recently, and I figured out how to long songs and all that, but the main reason I got it was to fix clipping. So can anybody tell me exactly howmto fix clipping using audacity. An example for decaf or whoever else would be Nerd by Gucci. Thanks in advance.

ascitiesburn69 Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Idk if thats possible. Now you could lower the volume of the peaks of music to make your amps not clip as soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_smiff Posted November 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Idk if thats possible. Now you could lower the volume of the peaks of music to make your amps not clip as soon. It has a feature in the effects tab that says clip fix Quote HU: JVC Arsenal AR880 Subs: (4) Incriminator Audio Warden 15s Highs: (12)Eminator 8s (12)Eminator 6.5s (12)Eminence Apt80s Amps: (2) Incriminator Audio 40.1s (subs), (2) MB Quart Discus 4125s, (1) MB Quart 4.80 Electrical: -DB Electrical 275 amp Ohio Gen -BIG III -(5) XS Power d3100s 152.3 In Street Beat 5.

Guest Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 its impossible to fix clipping. clipping can start from anyone editing a song and its only fixed by the studio. no other way. that clip fix function locks up audacity so its pintless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DC Power Kyle Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 You can never truly fix a "clip" in the song. It can try to calculate how to fix it but it won't sound anything like a proper recorded version of that song (if the artist actually made one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought I was dooing something wrong. So wat could I do to make it a tad bit safer to play at high volumes?

thehoe92 Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 I use compressor just leave it at the default parameters and click ok obviously it doesn't fix the clipped signal but it shows in audacity that most of the song isn't clipped any more via the red disappearing. still not fixed but A TON better than playing it clipped. when I use the compressor my sub doesn't get as hot compared to the raw clipped song so it does do its job Quote Wouldnt be thehoe92 without teh purple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUBIE Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 you could actually "fix" a clipped song by lowering the gain in the song or audacity has a some program that fixes it for you..i cant remember how but when i get home ill let you know..and "THEHOE92" is correct you could tell when the song is clipped if the screen apears RED.

wL<3bass Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 (edited) you could actually "fix" a clipped song by lowering the gain in the song or audacity has a some program that fixes it for you..i cant remember how but when i get home ill let you know..and "THEHOE92" is correct you could tell when the song is clipped if the screen apears RED. Even if you lower the level of the song its still clipped... I sine wave is suppose to be smooth and round by lowering the "gain" or overall volume of the song the squared off wave just is smaller but still squared off....which will still be a clip and make your woofers see a clipped signal...just not a harsh of one....but it's still a clip nonetheless.... Quit throwing misinformation around....I'm sick of people not knowing what they are talking about telling people to do this...when it could potentially cause them to blow some equipment. edit: And just because audacity doesn't show those little red bars doesn't mean it not clipped the recording volume might not be high enough to show a clip when one may actually be present.
