I'm currently working on finishing a project I played on but I will
not be doing the final mixing. I'm trying to convince the mixer to
make it so the final .aiff files are not clipped in the type of way
most all gain addict current releases are. I learned that doing so
brings about a type of distortion from the good folks here at RAP.
The mixer says that all the stuff nowadays is clipped, that it's the
popular sound out there. And you know, now that I think of it, I
really can't notice this type of distortion much myself. It doesn't
bring about any artifacts or strange frequencies. Sure the dynamics
are non existant, but the *sound* of the tracks don't really suffer,
at least I can't tell they do. This guy has all types of gear
dedicated to getting every last dB out of his recordings. How do I
explain this to him in such a way that he will see the point? Help!

You don't. You go somewhere else.
