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 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. 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?

Are you kidding me? I'm no audiophile but that seems excessive

That's nothing. Try $5,000 for a Stax SR-009, along with another $2,000-5,000 for an electrostatic amp to drive it properly. Or, if you can find one, $12,000 minimum for the discontinued Sennheiser Orpheus HE/90 headphone + HEV/90 amp. The one I saw on eBay sold at that price within the first day or two it went up. There's another one floating around, but the seller's trying to get a whopping $35,000 for it. There's a reason they greet new Head-Fi users with "Sorry about your wallet." Your post made me read about Audeze LCD2/3s, and Stax for the past few hours now, thanks :P
[QUOTE="DivergeUnify"][QUOTE="paratheos"] No you're just limiting the definition to suit you. We are more able to survive against pathogens and toxins today than we were in the past. We are necessarily more evolved today than we once were. As a species, we have become more resistant.coolbeans90
Not really. Genetically we're still as suseptible to new diseases. Cleaner living conditions, as well as medication has gone a long way towards helping us remain healthy. As a species, actually due to things like antibiotics we are less resistant, and more dependent on medication
He isn't referring to humanity's biological/immune system capacities. It took me a while to figure this out.
Right ,but going from his first post, humans are directly a result of natural selection. To get to the stage we are now, medically, resulted in under a few hundred-thousand years. Getting us to the stage where we can stack, share, understand, and build upon existing information took hundreds of thousands of years
Saying evolution is an intellectual fallacy is flat out dumb. In fact its just taking for granted being born this smart in my opinion. Sure humans may be beyond natural selection in the near future, with the ability to manipulate our DNA for things like survivability and intelligence, but its still taken millions of years of natural selection to get to this point
[QUOTE="paratheos"] You cannot possibly say that we were as evolved in the 14th century as we are now.paratheos
Biologically, pretty much, yeah. You seem to conflate various uses of the word.

Animal domestication has also made us more resistant due to the proximity we've had with animals such as cows and pigs, which in the past( thousands of years) has had a big impact on our health. However those are genetic changes( and when it comes to bacteria, genetic changes happen very frequently from generation to generation. I'm pretty sure it takes a lot less genetic change than physical expressions)
