YMMV Overstepping 0 dBFS not always cause audible results. I recently made a live recording of Berio's 'A-Ronne', in this case performed by six singers. It has a *very* wide dynamic range (which has to be reduced for e.g. broadcasting, as was the case) and takes about 26 minutes. 0.01% of 26 minutes is around 1.5 seconds, and I can assure you that a female voice at +9dB and being clipped for 0.5 seconds three times is quite a nasty effect. > > but none of them would produce such > > gratituous nonsense as what you write above. > > It's hard for you to understand the context of speech? :D Maybe, but I don't think so.
