clipped songs are just killin me!!


Recommended Posts

theres so many good songs out there but the ones that i like - most of them are clipped too bad to risk playing

i wanted to listen to (for example)

love king - the dream

drake - over

young forever - jay z

birdman - tool

but i cant because i dont wanna fry my subs.

theres gotta be a way someone knows of to remove clipping. a program or something? ive searched so many links from google and stuff but i dont wanna give up.

i tried using the fruity limiter in fruity loops but it still clips badly unless im using it wrong.

ive tried clip fix in audacity but it seems to make things worse.

the only successful fix ive found is to go and click repair on every single clip (which i still didnt catch some by the time i finished) and it took between 3-4 hours of doing that, because you can only select so much of a song to repair.

ive messaged people on here too but the only person that mentioned a fix was bigpimpin and he said fruity limiter, but i cant find out how to make it remove clipping.

so please, does anyone out there know a program or a way to get rid of clipping/atleast make it a little better?

anyone? thanks..

just don't bang out. if you smell coil back the volume down. If your signal isnt clipped a little clipped music is not the end of the world. Be smart with the gain knob and volume knob and you can still enjoy it. Maybe not at full tilt boogie but still at semi loud levels.

When the bass notes extend past the range of the spectrum its called clipping.

You have a top and bottom and when the bass extends past those points its considered clipping.

Your system can enhance the clipping but for the most part it has to originate from the music.

very good answer. I think manofthehour you are referring to a clipped signal

no fixes, but there are many ways to lower the amplitude of the wave so theres not as much power in the long run... but it always sounds like poo

hell voltage drop drives amps into clipping... so playing a bunch of dirty songs on an amp with gains set a little too high plus an inefficient electrical equals magic smoke in amps and coil stinkage

Ive heard of people using a external amp, that would be powered off of a 9v battery or off your cars wiring, this would be able to help out with filtering the signal and allow you to turn you iPod down to half and then turn the amp from the iPod to normal listening volume, adn this might help ot with the clipped signal, I know most the Zune's don't start to clip till they get up to 19-20, but iPod's need to be turned to about 4/5 the way up, iPhones I have run all the way up or one notch down. These are just my methods of getting rid of clipped signals. Also if its a CD that your listening to, try ripping your CD to your computer, and increase the quality, then transfer to mp3 device. But if you are just using a mp3 device try the op-amp circuit im talking about. There are tons of easy ones.Amp circuit These actually will help smooth out the output voltage to your head unit and allow you to listen to you music at a higher volume. But if none of this works, then your head unit is a POS and you need to get a new one, cause the one you have is sending clipped signals at low voltages.

take baby steps, u cant do it all at once unless u have a roll of 100's big enough to choke a donkey
