Quiet e200

<< < (3/3)

nls:
Yes it you turn up bass, treble or any of the eq bands, you have to make sure that volume+precut+boost+eq >= 0dB to be sure to not add any clipping

RowaN:
Hmm sounds like theres a bit of maths involved here. I dont really understand what precut, and boost are, despite reading the manual (http://download.rockbox.org/manual/rockbox-sansae200/rockbox-buildch6.html#x9-920006). I have the EQ turned off - can someone give an example of how high I can turn the volume & bass without clipping?

If the final gain (volume control + EQ+ ...) for any frequency is positive, you will get clipping.  Thats basically all you need to know.

nls:
so for example if you just use volume and bass, if you turn the bass up 6dB you should keep volume at -6dB or lower to avoid clipping

RowaN:
Thanks guys. How does having replaygain enabled (with replaygain's prevent clipping mode also enabled) effect these calculations?
