Clipping Question
Posted: Tue Oct 06, 2015 12:58 pm
Hi,
I'm playing around with a 'crazy' parallel compressor which boosts the signal tremendously.
While experimenting I received different audio performance for within/without FS and I'm eager to know why.
Here are the details:
Setup A: Flowstone
Setup B: Cubase 5 32 bit
Both setups share the same gain values, track played, no other processing (limiters, etc.) and same VST setting.
Setup A produces harsh unbearable sounds when clipping. Setup B just flashes the red 'clipping' sign, but no harsh sound.
My question is why is their any audible difference? after all it is the same D.R. (32 bit floating point) with the same audio interface and driver (Maudio fast track), monitors, etc...
Is it the 'ASIO OUT' module of Flowstone which is clipping the signal?
nay ideas?
