That's one of the problems with digital recorders. If a signal is too strong from an input source it will limb above absolute zero (digital zero). Any signal higher than zero gets squared off until the signal is again lower than absolute zero. The squared off bit is called clipping. It can sound like distinct pops if the energy is high enough it can be really bad. In the case of this recording I had not yet made the adjustment to limit the signal when there really wasn't anything else to record.

  It can be so bad as to damage equipment!

Can be morfiend. but not in this case. It does not have the energy behind it.

Sounds much better.

Thank you, unfortunately now every aircraft will have to updated with that, except the jets of course. If you see anything else that needs de-clipping please let me know.

I am still planning on doing a custom damage sound for the radials that will be very different from this one.

Given most planes are inline engines why not have that engine damage as the set global engine damage and then change the exceptions (Like jets and radials)

[Chalenge]

Right now that is really the way it is, except the radials do not have an engine damage sound assigned. So, the inline damage sound comes through. There is a jet engine damage sound, but the game does not use it for some reason.

I checked out a few of the engine sounds with Audacity (I think that's what you're using) and it false positives on a lot of the engine sounds when testing for clipping. Audition can clean those spots up to make them invisible to your test, but I thought I would explain what is happening there. A lot of the engine sounds have embedded tracks so that I get the sound I want when the aircraft is moving fast, or diving. So sounds like the radiator cooler are stretched out and mixed with the original engine track, and as the speed builds they reform to their original shape as they get bunched up by the Doppler effect. The stretching causes the amplitude to flatten near the peaks (compression/rarefaction) which the audio application will detect as clipped. This is from the imprecision of digital waveforms instead of an actual artifact.

If you don't mind me asking challenge, what version Auditions you running and windows?  Before my leave from AH for 2 yrs, I was using Auditions 3.01 with WinXP.  Now since I upgraded to Win7 since then, now my Auditions is not compatible with this version.  I am currently looking at Auditions CS6 to purchase.

[Chalenge]

CS6 on Windows 7 64-bit. Adobe Creative Cloud has a more recent version for 64-bit.

I use both CS6 and 3.01 on my Windows 7 computer.  Not sure what you mean 3.01 is not compatible.  Works better than CS6 for some things.  Adobe really screwed up some of the CS6, and later, functionality.  The declipper in CS6 is very restrictive on the count it will correct and seems to have a huge memory leak as well.

Dogg cant u runas administrator and dun prog in xp?

[AKDogg]

I can't even get it installed, its the installer portion of the program apparently not compatible.  Yes I am a administrator and such on the computer.  I even tried compatibility mode under XP, no luck.  BTW, I do have Win7 pro, not home edition.

I have noticed the snaps do not always agree with the sample points, and over time the program begins to instill noise. So I routinely shut it down and start again. Ever since they put in the video previewer it's done this.

Actually, after the release of 3.01, Adobe handed Audition off to the Apple programmers.  Remember when 5.0 came out and they gutted a lot of the functionality citing they did it because they could not get it to work on Apple computers?  That was a nasty release.  Glad I did not pay for that one.

After 3.01 they migrated to third party plugins and removed the original Cool Edit Pro code which handled those functions.

Odd.  The installer worked fine for me.  Windows 7 Pro 64 bit on my systems.  I have installed at work and at home.

Both downloads have been updated to remove clipping points in the engdmg sounds. The Check6 sounds were slightly re-ordered, and the German aircraft and vehicles now have flack tower type air raid sirens. Corrected the Ta152 engine.
