8/2/2023 0 Comments Mp3directcut mac os xYeah, I’ll research “Loudness Wars”, thanks. So now I’m just listening (going by ear) – Does Windows Media Player and the like fix as they play? with “volume leveling” and what ever other term(s) other players use for volume leveling? So many questions, I need a book on the subject I guess. Mp3DirectCut never seems to show clipping … in it’s normalizing window, I’ve yet to see an mp3 go beyond 0, I’ve seen them maxed to 0 and those same maxed mp3’s will be in the red when loaded into Audacity!! - some way in the red! – I don’t get it. Now as far as clipping – I am still unclear on all the ins and outs, from a laymans perspective that is … My mistake: “re-compression” is not the problem/term _but rather re-encoding!! the problem is loading an mp3 into audacity editing it and then exporting it degrades it! due to re-encoding -so there is software like mp3DirectCut which allows some editing with out the de- and re-encoding. With MP3 it gets compressed into a new sound file, which thereafter is what gets used. It isn’t like a ZIP file, which is compressed when written and saved, and then uncompressed when it is read into UNZIP. My understanding of MP3, an understanding that may be inaccurate, is that there is no “decompression”. If, after import, the file shows clipping then it was there in the original. Response greatly appreciated, Īudacity imports EXACTLY what was in the file. So (1) is importing an mp3 copy into Audacity an accurate way to check for clipping?Īnd (2) (If someone might know) is there a way to check for clipping with the Audacity recommended “Mp3DirectCut” (freeware)? I even created a clipped mp3 with audacity and when viewed in Mp3DirectCut I could see no sign that it was clipping (e.g., red lights, lines, etc.). I also downloaded Mp3DirectCut which allows you to reduce gain without decompressing BUT it doesn’t seem like Mp3DirectCut shows if it is clipping or not. I don’t know of any other way to check them and I suspect they are clipping and want to be sure. These are downloaded mp3’s from Sony/Freegal (not audacity created) and as stated some show clipping in audacity some don’t. When I first started checking I didn’t realize that importing then exporting mp3’s into audacity degrades them BUT I did notice some of my mp3’s clipped and some didn’t when viewed in audacity. So could I make a copy of an mp3 just to check? (since decompressing and recompressing original would be harmful). I am trying to check my mp3’s for clipping. If an mp3 imported into audacity shows clipping does that mean it was clipping before or could it be the decompression process that caused the clipping?
