alrighty - i'll start off with clipping.
as i understand it, clipping is pretty much just when your audio reaches the top level of sound before distortion?
with my songs, they clip all the time, i mean - close to always clipping. But - they sound great anyway. So, why should i turn it down if it sounds good how it is?
next, comes compression. I understand how to use compressors (i use computer ones...like FAsofts, etc.....NOT outboard ones.), and can work them fairly well. My question is, since pretty much they are just for getting your song to stop "clipping", and to increase the overall volume perhaps, do i really need to do that if it still sounds ok how it is? should i waste 20 bucks on a nice compressor? or should i invest 20 bucks on a nice compressor? or sohuld i stick with a free one?
thanks a million
