Hi Oyvind,

I wouldn't be surprised if there's clipping below
10kHz but the example file overall mix level should
have been dropped a few decibals. Because the high hat
is mixed louder than any other instrument it's the
instrument that's level exceeded the 16bit range and
consequently it's the cause for the clips in the 10 ->
15kHz range.
Rezound does have an off flag for the clip indicator
so those nasty red lines go away. Of course that
doesn't do anything to hide those flattened off wav
patterns. Maybe we need a "take the sucky look away
button." :)
Thanks much. I've got plenty to write about and am off
to do so,

Hi Ron, let me try a little on this one.
In fact, thanks much for your replies. You've very
accurately drawn conclusions about the problem that I
vaguely described and taught me a couple of
interesting details. I needed the lesson.
What's
interesting about this specific set of
clips is
that they are mostly inaudible. The clipping
occurs
around 10kHz -> 15kHz and are almost all
within
the
high hat.
This is a little strange. Althoug clipping generally
adds high-frequency content (and can be dampened a
little by a low-pass filter, effectively rounding
off
those nasty sharp bends in the curve), I would
expect
some goo below 10 kHz. Maybe it's masked by your
music. *can engineers
safely ignore inaudible clips and
tell
their clients ... not to worry
Ha ha, they do all the time :-) Dr. Oyvind Hammer
