Watch as the mp3 rip is now clipping due to further compression of the dynamic range.
- nitrogen 11y agoThat's not because of dynamic range compression; it's because MP3 discards some phase and frequency information, e.g. so harmonics that wouldn't have clipped get phase shifted on top of a peak and clip.
