arguing about here, it would likely be a whole song. If it's darn near a
straight line with no squiggles, that's what we call "toothpaste tube"
limiting. The amplitude value may not be full scale but it might as well

Must be a regional thing. Out west we call it "cinderblock" limiting. Picture a raw
cinderblock in profile, and then a bunch of them lined up in a row (the waveforms of
the songs on your favorite mashed album displayed in your DAW, for example).

Hard, rough, gray, brittle, unmoving. "Toothpaste" sounds too benign. w
