I have a show that I recorded last week where there is a good bit of noise and wind (darn lawn recordings).
Playing around in SoundForge, I added about 5db of volume to the recording.
Giving it a listen, there are some areas where the peak is now 5gb above 0db (or 5db "over").
Is it OK to leave this? As the sound does not clip, brickwall or anything... even when listening in CDwav.
I would think that if you listen to it and the sound is OK, than it is OK to convert/share it this way?
Just looking for any thoughts or opinions (good, bad, nice, mean
)
Thanks in advance.
