If I have a "compression tool" I'm not aware of it.

Q: Where is the evidence of any (hyper-)compression in this screenshot?
A: There isn't any!


It doesn't look like it, but compression is harder to detect visually.

Limiting, otherwise known as 'clipping' of the waveform, is readily
apparent and is often much more destructive to the audio.


Are we still talking about the "Dark Side Of The Moon" screenshot?
Or the "Sunday Bloody Sunday" animation?

In the case of DSotM, I see no clipping either. There is one peak that
reaches full scale at the bottom near the 33 minute mark and I have
posted at my site addition, medium and extreme closeups of that peak as
well which clearly reveal no limiting or clipping has taken place.

...unless I just still don't have my terms as well-defined as think I
do! :-)



Well... I stated in an earlier post today (transient peak), that I really don't
think you have a grip on the term "clipping" quite yet.

A). Attempting to exceed 0dBFS is 'digital clipping'.

B). Limiting a waveform so as not to exceed 0dBFS is also 'clipping'.
