Hi Hans,
I have loaded up 9.37 on Windows to further tweak an existing preset for streaming (this one is not FM).
During this process, I have discovered bass clipping is not working as expected.
To clarify, my understanding of bass clipping is it can be set strict to not allow any bass above (x)dB level.
I have a preset which sounds fine, except that I would like to have more control over songs with deep bass, preventing the overall bass between 60-120Hz from exceeding -6dB.
After playing with this for the last 4 hours, in different combinations, I have not been able to configuring accurate bass clipping with the desired setting.
I am running Processing -> Bass Effects -> Bass Clipper with the following settings:
Shape: Soft
Overshoot: 1.0
Drive 3.00dB (I do this to add bass for older tracks lacking bass)
Threshold: -6dB
Input lowpass frequency: 100Hz
Input lowpass slope: 12.0dB/sec
Output lowpass frequency: 100Hz
Output lowpass slope: 12.0dB/sec
It's clipping, however even in Shape:Hard it's still letting through bass right up to 0dB.
I've then attempted to hard clip using Advanced Clipper -> Distortion -> 1st Bass Filter -> Pre-Bass Clipper.
I set this hard to clip anything above -6dB with strictness set to maximum (10).
After playing some audio samples and running them through the spectrum analyzer bass is still peaking at 0dB.
Am I missing something here ?
How do I enforce tighter bass clipping ?
A penny for your thoughts please.
Many thanks,
BeDazzler.
