Title: Anybody have a jpg (screenshot or otherwise) of brickwalling?
Post by: divamum on June 02, 2007, 02:43:03 PM

Somebody asked me about what it is, and I can't find anything with a PICTURE of a waveform demonstrating it (I did search, but couldn't find a screenshot; if anybody knows a thread which includes a pic, by all means point me to it)

Thanks in advance!

just say its when you don't see the peaks of the wave form and they go off the spectrum. ( or over 0 db.)

That would be clipping.  You can brickwall and still be under 0db.

Basically looks like clipping, i.e. a squared off waveform, but the squaring off occurs below 0 dBFS.  Kinda like the following from a previous thread (http://taperssection.com/index.php/topic,53054.0.html):
