I know that this problem exists, it simply should not be in a DAW. I expect clipping from videogames or other aplications that don't primarily deal with sound on a substantial level.īut DAWs and co? Even a total beginner/newbie developer should quickly learn about the nature of computer sound, that playing two similar sounds at the same time makes them add up, three even more so, etc, yes. Then that playstation 1 music program, timidity++, fluidsynth, musescore, crappy casio children piano, banging spoons together. I know no other DAW or tracker or midi synth even that does that, granted, I haven't used many.Ĭubase, Fruity Studio, Milkytracker, some version of Magix Music Maker but I think that one lacked synths and was more of an arranger/mixer. I can name one, LMMS and it's reproducable by doing a clean install, new project, which has an oscillator synth track in its template, and playing a chord, a triad.Īnd that's just silly. How many DAWs can you name where you load a synth or instrument, play 3 notes and it clips? I know that I can turn the volume down, and I know what clipping is and, yes, other DAWs clip too, but for that you usually have to work towards that. If you ever need extra help with that, you can ask me, or the other composers here. I'm actually really good at keeping audio from clipping. Amplifier, or Simple Amplifier) on the Master bus and turn it down to whatever you want.
If you really, really don't want to turn the volume down on your individual tracks, you can easily put an amplifier (e.g. Two instruments are louder than one, if they are playing the same volume. That is also (intelligently) unavoidable. well, I don't know what I'd do, because it doesn't exist.Īnd also, playing two notes at a time is obviously going to make it louder. If you can find a DAW that does not clip loud audio. Clipping is very bad, as the distortion sounds different on every set of speakers, and it is uncontrollable. Computers cannot handle anything above 0 db, and once the sound gets above that volume it clips, giving you that distortion. There is a major difference between those two. When the waveform in the top of LMMS shows up red, that does not mean that it sounds loud, that means it is loud. this happens with literally every single DAW in existence. LMMS is not to blame for the sound design that you are doing, and the only solution we can possibly have is to restrict you from making certain sounds, which would honestly be an absolutely braindead thing to do. If it really is that ridiculously loud, you either had your volume up too high to begin with, or you are using pure-ish chiptune waves that will destroy your ears regardless of the DAW. I will start flinging insults and use bad language. I want to play multiple notes at a time and not end up with a completely distorted sound, like it is customary in pretty much all other audio things under the sun. If I want to blow my eardrums out, let me have that option, but more often than not, this is not what I want. It would be really nice if lmms could be changed to display the same courtesy to my ears. Only by posting something really silly in reply to this I will start flinging insults and use bad language. As you can see, instead of being abrasive and awful, I am starting this comment self moderated and civil.
