New Guy, Clipping, and thanks to all here

["Donald Weiser" <>]

Not to bore you but over the years I have made recordings of music
(remember vinyl?), to reel-reel, then to Lucifer's own invention, the
8-track, and then to cassette tape.  I was always very aware of not
going into the red causing distortion.  And so what do I do with my
first several nature recordings I made in the field?  While not
comfortable with the the new device quite yet, I clipped the heck out
of everything!  My brook & waterfall recordings sounded like a
helicopter was hovering just above the mics.  A special thanks to
Martyn here for sending me an email (after I'd sent him a snippet)
that went something like, "OH MY GOD, YOU'RE RECORDING AT WAY TOO HIGH
A LEVEL!!!!"
:)
Thanks to all,
Don
