Sorry I don't have much time right now. But exactlty that. An itty bit (say 10 samples by 1dB is sign a meticulous mixing job. If I see 3db or 6db of headroom for no reason that's just lazy. Does a song have to have a be clipping to be a good mix no. But most do. It's better to clip the fringes than to compress or attentuate just avoid clipping a few samples. Let say you frame pictures and you want what ever it was centered. But there was twig on the edge that would get clipped if you centered it. Is it better to be off center (your goal) or clip the twig? Or even worse put an over sized frame and pad the whole picture with a white border except where the twig protrudes? -- mswlogo XP > Cat5 > Transporter/DuetController > SPDIF > Meridian G68 > DSP6000, DSP5500HC, DSP5000 XP > Cat5 > SB3 > SPDIF > Meridian DSP5000 XP > Cat5 > DuetReceiver > SPDIF > Meridian G91 > DSP5000 'My Transporter Setup' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showpost.php?p=350741&postcount=45) 'Hitch Hikers Guide to Meridian' (http://www.meridianunplugged.com) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mswlogo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9090 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77725 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
