Microphone recordings that are clipped either from the mic preamp or your D/A converter has been fed a signal above its maximum level. All levels and types of clipping are useful.
What is clipping?
Clipping happens when a waveform carried inside audio equipment (analog or digital) becomes louder than the maximum level that can be reproduced. The peaks slam into the upper/lower limits and have nowhere to go. A clipped waveform looks like the peaks have been 'clipped' off, as shown in the image above. This sounds increasingly distorted, depending on how severe the clipping is.
What we need
Clipped audio - Microphone recordings that are clipped either from the mic preamp or your D/A converter has been fed a signal above its maximum level. All levels and types of clipping are useful.
Why not make some
If you would like to make a clipped file for us to test with, that is great too. We need as many mic preamp and audio interface examples as possible. Low medium and high levels of clipping are all OK.
