The Mastering Show #26 - Clipping: What is it, and is it ever acceptable ?

Some people say clipping distortion is inaudible, some say it’s the true secret of really “loud” mastering, some say it’s a powerful creative effect, others that it’s the spawn of the devil. So who is right, and why ? In this show we talk about: * What clipping is, and the difference between the analogue & digital varieties *When and why we use it *Whether you can repair clipping damage *The difference between clipping and limiting *Why clipping & saturation are NOT the secret of "analogue warmth" Full show notes and links http://themasteringshow.com/episode-26
