A problem with the Aurora installer for Intel-based Macs has been fixed! Please download the new installer at https://t.co/uBvNSw5seo

I'm super excited to launch my first plugin! "Aurora" eliminates the headache of constantly bouncing clips to see what the waveform looks like in your favourite DJ software. Now you can see it in your DAW in real-time! Try it out free for 7 days - https://t.co/Kv43mCCaf7

@shaneyman @virginmobilecan :( I don't understand why we even still have to wait for the carrier to enable it when supposedly it should be available directly through Google everywhere now, which they did specifically BECAUSE carriers are dragging their feet

@virginmobilecan @shaneyman Just chiming in to say chat features are unavailable for me too, on a brand new Pixel 4a purchased through Virgin activated on December 1st. Clearly opening RCS to non-Samsung devices has not gone according to plan...

@iamDasKapital @tkbby_music Not weird at all, objectivity is exactly why the whole point of mastering is having someone else do it!

[Schematic Sound @SchematicSound]

@_falsehero @light_shard Depends on the music. Smoother/softer music that isn't going to made super loud in the first place can sound nice (or at least not worse) with it enabled, but loud stuff with super sharp transients almost always suffer to the point where letting it clip is the better option

[Schematic Sound @SchematicSound]

@akuro_dsp @IKYGUYmusic Sorry yeah you're right, it's logarithmic so it gets halved with each bit lost. At 24/23 bits that's not a big deal (realistically most 24 bit converters are closer to 18 or at most 20 bits in terms of noisefloor anyway) but at 16/15 or less it can start becoming more of an issue

[Schematic Sound @SchematicSound]

@akuro_dsp @IKYGUYmusic You don't halve the digital precision, but you were right in your initial post you do effectively lose a full bit's worth of dynamic range, and increase the noisefloor by 6dB if it ever gets normalized after that point.

@BeatmundN Potentially 4dB additional limiting required if you don't want it to just be 4dB quieter. In my opion, the 4dB of extra limiting sounds way worse than the bit of distortion from lossy conversion peaks getting clipped off.

[Schematic Sound @SchematicSound]

@BeatmundN If you want to maintain a certain level, a -1 ceiling means having to squish the dynamic range by 1dB more. That in combination with a potential 3dB more limiting in some places with true-peak enabled vs regular sample-peak and -0.1 (or similar) means...
