[QUOTE="pervertatoid, post: 3505151, member: 574795"] How do I "hear" clipping? I have a few songs that, when playing, the speakers pop in certain parts - as if someone touched a nine-volt battery to the speaker wire. I thought perhaps it was a short or something, but the popping happens at the same part of the songs every time. I can skip directly to 3:02 on a particular track and hear a loud popping from the speakers. I opened up the MP3 file in an audio-editing program and noticed that it appears to have been recorded at 0db and the particular location of the popping sound is right at the max level. Could the popping I'm hearing in my speakers be a result of clipping? I played the song on my computer, however, and have heard no such popping noises or other abnormalities. I also experienced none while playing it on my wife's computer. Is there anything else this could be? Obviously it could be a coincidence that it pops where the signal is maxed, but what else could cause the popping in my speakers? I've attached a pic of the waveform as it shows up in the audio editor if it helps. Thanks for any help. [IMG]http://pics.livejournal.com/pervertatoid/pic/000724z9.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
