JMC: hmm, are you angry?
Editing SECRETS revealed! replies to JMC: Only when bad questions overdrive him into distortion. If people maintain a reasonable level of discourse, say around --13dB, then issues don't phase him at all.
Hi-Tech Filmmaker: omg, I saw your thumbnail and I thought you were Paul McCartney!
rpg aleksy replies to Hi-Tech Filmmaker: Very much so, the mouth area and general face structure reminds me of Sir McCartney a lot, instant sympathy points as one can pretend it‘s actually Paul but in Audio Engineering form!
Morbid Man Music: Obviously the popping was him clipping the preamp, and less possibly the mic at the source. You got this wrong. I'm surprised.
Audio Masterclass replies to Morbid Man Music: @Editing SECRETS revealed! This could be true. They could have heard clipping and called it popping, incorrectly. DM
Editing SECRETS revealed! replies to Morbid Man Music: Without an audio sample we don't know if the questioner accurately identified popping as opposed to clipping.
Audio Masterclass replies to Morbid Man Music: Clipping is not popping. A microphone may pop, a preamp may clip. DM
