On export to 16bit/44.1kHz, there are very audible overdrive artifacts. They disappear when the consumer media player is set to a low volume.<br><br></blockquote><div><br>The second part of that says that the problem is in your player/reproduction chain, not in the file. Distortion from clipped digital audio would not 'dissappear' when the volume is turned down, they would still be there, just at a lower volume along with the rest of the sound.<br>
<br>You can check this by the way using the sndfile-info command line program, which will tell you the volume of the loudest part of the sound file(Peak Volume).<br><br> Seablade<br></div></div>
