Hi there audio gang,
I have recently been in contact with a very well-respected jazz audio
mastering specialist, Doug Pomeroy. I asked him about audio editing and
what he used to do it. He made a few very good points and I thought I
would throw these out there.
First, there is the idea of clipping, not just at the level that can be
detected by distortion heard in the music, but the level of the sample.
Pomeroy is sighted and therefore can see the graphs of the waveform
where the peaks are and can adjust accordingly. It seems as if the
industry standard is to avoice clipping at all costs, can't say I blame
them of course. I'm wondering if anyone here has experimented with such
repairs at the subsonic sample level? If so, what have you used and how?
I know there are sound forge scripts out there that can tell you overall
levels, but that's about all I know.

The other point brought up was regarding transients on a disc. These are
surface noise things that can be at the levels of the 44 thousandth of a
second of a sample or finer. This relates to the clipping issue, in
short, i'm wondering if anyone has done editing at this level.
any thoughts are welcome on this one, i hope I have explained things
sort of well,
Dave c. bahr
