Could it be clipping is an artist's artistic choice? I mean music is bigger than the set of rules rulemakers have made.

- dusted 3y agoThere's definitely lots of that too, especially guitars and synth, but it's typically aesthetic and both sounds (and looks) like it belongs in the track
- qbrass 3y agoStatic-X might have done something like that intentionally, but it's generally what was done on CDs during the loudness war. It's why people were buying albums on vinyl instead of CDs, back before it became trendy.
- brudgers 3y agoMy understanding is the loudness war reduced dynamic range, but that it didn’t do so via clipping of high amplitude frequencies in the music, but rather by increasing gain of low amplitude frequencies with techniques like parallel compression. But I could be wrong.
