So to sum it up exactly, you're saying two things:

1 - You get better 'resolution' if you record hot.

2 - There is an optimal recording level related purely to the introduction of even and/or odd harmonics due 100% to the quality and type of pre-amps used in recording.


Is this exactly what you are trying to say?

I re-phrased your use of 2nd and 3rd harmonics into even and odd harmonics (thus 2nd, 4th, 6th ect and 3rd, 5th, 7th etc). Is this what you mean? Correct me if you mean only 2nd and 3rd.

Exactly and yes I mean odd and even harmonics, once again my terminology is awful, sounds like you have been to RMIT as well??  
 
You know how it is, I have all these terms in my head but there is so much to remember, esp after 5 years of this "crap" and it's not "crap" but christ remebering every term and phrase is nigh on impossible and to put it all down succinctly is nigh on impossible.  Esp if you are trying to remember something from a lecture from 5 years ago and then adding all the bits together, the article, softclip. 
 
It's only after you go on the journy, then you go back and put all the peices togther including a recording that you did at the time to form the theory, you go AH HA, thats what it was!!

How many threads have you started on this now, in the last week or so? Is this something like the sixth? You start the thread to talk about the same thing. People explain to you why you're wrong. Rather than accept that, you go and start another thread about it. People explain to you why you're wrong. And so on. I'm going to put this bluntly: pick it up, thicko. It's been explained to you a dozen times, and it's not even complicated.

To wit: digital recording distorts in one way and one way only. If the signal exceeds the level that the recording bit depth can express, the signal is truncated, which means that the tops of the waves are squared off. It's literally as simple as that. If you're clipping, then you've got a bad recording. If you're not clipping, then any "digital warmth" you're getting is completely imaginary. There you go, one paragraph, done. If you can't follow that, there is literally no hope for you. Go and find a simpler hobby.

He is like a zealot. He has a system and he is going to hammer on that thing until the cows come home.

Ben...give it up already. 

OK...I had to post again to see my own post show up....

What gives?

The truly bizarre thing is that this is so trivially uncomplicated.

It's called post count, but it doesn't matter.....I know because bapu told me.

Post count doesn't matter?

If I'd know that I would have posted a lot more
