Team-Atomic-Andrew Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 ok so i have been messing around with my o scope and signal generator, so i decided to do a visual representation of what a clipped wave is and why its so dangerous first off here is a normal 600hz sine wave at +15 DBu amplitude as you can see this wave has a nice smooth rise and fall to it, no real sharp jagged edges here is a slightly clipped 600hz sine wave at +17 DBu Amplitude and here is a severely clipped 600hz sine wave at +20DBu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kl0wn Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Pretty sure Decaf already made a video that was only a minute long showing the differences between regular tones and clipped tones... Still good though for people that would rather look at pictures than a video.

bassl0va Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 I wouldn't call the second one slightly clipped, it looks pretty damn bad.

Decaf Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 actually in the thread i made i showed Gorilla Zoe - Money Man original, then +3db, then +6, then +12 and finally +18db combined in a 60 second video to show how bass boosting can destroy the entire song, not just bass, i included a little sound too so u can hear the distortion "give me 60 seconds and ill show u clipping" or something like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
