Hi, it's Easter and I seem to have time to wonder about all kinds of strange things, among which is subj.
I think that according to the Nyquist theorem sampling frequencies above 22.05 at 44.1 results in aliasing, therefore everything above 22.05 is filtered in the analoge domain before sampling to avoid aliasing ? But why/how can one then see from the reconstructed waveform that clipping is present (due to e.g. loud mastering)? Modulo being a bit flat, it shouldn't clip as far as I understand? Next question. Is compression not preferable to overly aggressive filtering as in above? Sure one gets a distorted waveform compared to the original source, on the other hand one can potentially avoid throwing too much stuff in the bin. If so what is an acceptable amount of compression? Or when is it unacceptable? Please correct me if I'm getting things wrong. I'm no expert. Also I tried browsing the numerous threads on this forum and also google on the topic, but can't seem to find an answer to this particular question.
