Host Forum: Sonic Visualiser / Sonic Visualiser and Clipping
« on: December 03, 2015, 08:00:45 »
Hi,
I am new to this forum as well as to this topic, so I hope you guys can help me resolving this issue. I used the spectrogram functions to determine the real quality of sound files. Among these files I had several that had some strong clipping going on, clearly shown in the peak meters of various programs and of course in the waveforms. E.g. Audacity, Foobar, etc. But whenever I checked the spectrogram the clipping did not show up in the spectrogram colors. It was always well below 0dB. Why is sonic visualiser not displaying clipping in the spectrogram?
Cheers,
Chris
