it sounds like distortion were the peaks have been lopped off, some album examples that are pretty bad are death magnetic and californication.

That video shows it well at like the 43 second mark, although the video is really really annoying, sorry.It is a pretty extreme example, but it will show you what to listen for. In music the cymbals, snare and bass are usually effected the most.

Ahhhh okay I see. When it came to vocals I always thought this was a desired effect, though? Maybe thats just from it being so prevalentit sounds like distortion were the peaks have been lopped off, some album examples that are pretty bad are death magnetic and californication.

Maybe thats just from it being so prevalent I'm not so sure about desired effect, most producers/master engineers will try to avoid clipping. I guess it depends on the type of music and whoever is behind it. There are better ways to get a distorted sound on the vocals rather than clipping the vocals, which I think is more a case of bad recording/mixing/mastering rather than what they was aiming for.it sounds like distortion were the peaks have been lopped off, some album examples that are pretty bad are death magnetic and californication.

I'm just thinking of distortion in general, which probably in some cases is added. So simply put, its caused by decibels exceeding a decibel ceiling?it sounds like distortion were the peaks have been lopped off, some album examples that are pretty bad are death magnetic and californication.
