multiplying
two floats will introduce a rounding error in the least
significant bit. that means it adds noise. at a level of -144dBFS.
Yes, depends on the range of the signal. It will be ~ -144dBFS if the
input signal is full range 0dB. It will be considerably less if the
signal is less. Although ears might have a dynamic range of over
120dB, they have considerably less dynamic depth (only 30dB or so in a
critical band, not sure of the full-band figure).
that means people will lose significant imaging
clarity of the two
mosquitoes fucking on their mike windscreen during the recording of that
starting space shuttle. end of the world!
Mosquitos are *considerably* louder than what we're talking about!
I would like someone to post a sample of two mosquitoes fucking on Freesound.
