that stuff is kind of bogus. in fact, i think that guy has taken an mp3 as an example. when wav files are compressed into the mp3 standard they tend to do that kind of shit (clip out badly). mastering is intended to fill out the sound and make it round and nice to listen to. overcompressing sucks the big one. but a nice mastering adds to the quality of the release.

no i am on glice's side with that one, a ltiny bit of internet research doesn't show shit. i can rip qotsa's songs for the deaf at higher quality than cd and i can show you waht it looks like with 192khz sampling rate at 24bit depth. you are stating something that is not true, in fact i can say completely false. i.e. wav files tend to clip out when converted to mp3, sorry but that is absolute and utter garbage, you either don;t know what clipping is or you are using the wrong language... sorry, don't mean to sound harsh and nothing against you max, however, yes nice mastering should add something, it is not easy to find
ok and just as an example the picture that says "And finally, this is what Audition (clip restoration) reckons it should look like, given 6dB of headroom to play with" is actually limiting at 0db, check your sources dude....
edit: ok sorry i'm a bit drunk but i can convert a say daydream nation to any mp3 bitrate and sample rate and take screen shots for the compariosns, because really this topic has come up many many times and is kinda getting tedious, who's up for it
