[QUOTE="globalminds_ent, post: 7576574, member: 637861"] 2 they are but u just don't understand how.........here we go lesson 101........when a sound reaches a full square wave meaning clipping over digital absolute zero meaning it hits that absolute zero wall and get can't over you hear clipping aka distortion but distortion can be used in a mix without the entire mix clipping example electric guitars use distortion as an effect this is somewhat what u mean when u say u can hear distortion when its really not clipping I can put a sound too loud in a mix and when it goes to mastering that sound may be distorted but that doesn't mean the whole mix is but if u can hear distortion that means that the sound has turned into clipped square wave doesn't mean the whole entire mix is so if its the high hat u hear sounding distorted that high hat is clipping but the whole song might not be this also can happen if a sound is not loud enough in a mix because when that limiter slams it down and its not loud enough it will amplify a sound that's not there making distortion the sound waves of higher frequency sounds don't carry as much weight as kicks as they will go into red quicker than a any other sound because the fq is so much lower it needs to be amplified a lot more to heard clearly this goes for all music the kicks will the loudest thing most of the time even if doesn't that loud now some of what u hear in the higher end that u think is distortion is really not our ears have a comfort zone and when high hats are screaming at u its not distortion it's cheap speakers/amps that are not representing the sound to it's original recording in the car audio world this is usually the case because of this **** people call sq setups don't even come close to comparing to actual studio monitors if u never been in a studio don't even comment on that but u no what u guys no everything I no nothing I make music everyday u just have high end playback systems can't tell me the definition of a sine wave but yeah u could what I do tomorrow if u wanted to because yeah distortion and clipping are not the same GL [/QUOTE]
