i suppose this comes way too late in the discussion, but how does one search for the maximum slew rate in a file?
what tools are used?
and i'm having trouble understanding the application of an oversampled peak meter, i mean, i know the concept, but how does this tool help in this situation?
where can i find such tools?
please and thank you
because i've just been zooming in using wavelab and there they are, high acceleration, distortion causing slew rates.
detectable by the thousands in one track off of any given commercial CD.
oh, except for the "audiophile" quality CDs.
ok, here's another thing, and it's starting to really bug me...
in a major way...
what is wrong with a mastering engineer being an audiophile?!!
............................................................ ..
.........
really, what is the basis of this objection i keep reading from numerous posters?
lemme catch my breath, cause this is makin me red freakin hot...
trying to control myself..
ok..
are we not in the business, as mastering engineers, of helping in the production of high quality audio for our consumers, (many of whom are "audiophiles" themselves)?
or are we just in it for the money, and "audiophiles" are a seperate bunch of geeks, much like ourselves, who are addicted to pristine audio sounds, and we the pushers of "cut", fake, psychoacoustic, but not the "real" thing?
not the "good stuff"?
no, the "good $hit" we keep to ourselves..
we'll just print this CD now because it's good enough for "them"
...
this attitude, and forgive me if i'm misinterpreting,
but this kind of attitude makes me want to literally start destroying things, it makes me violent...
i don't consider this to be a personal problem because i think it's very justified.
i'm passionate about what i do,
very!!!
so does this make me an "audiophile"?
any input would be appreciated, seriously..
cause sometimes i start to get the feeling i'm hanging out on the wrong forum.
this is very technical stuff,
and i get raving mad when someone who hasn't even read what i'm talking about comes back to belittle my situation and obviously has no idea what i'm talking about.
but alas , this is a public forum..
let the village idiots have their space too.

Wouldn't a single jump between two adjacent samples be a thing that is happening for a period of 1/44100:th of a second? What's that - pico, nano, millimicro? Sombrero?

yeah man,
i'm talkin about sombreros dude.
it's really important you wear one while mastering, didnt you know, it's the "way", dude!
don't forget your sombreros everyone, cause that's the secret of good mastering skills.
because, like, the sound waves bounce off the tip of the hat you know,... and like it affects the way the trajectory of the sound wave enters your ears, maan! so it's like way far out ther, man...
but the thing is , dude,
like everyone who hears your masters has to be wearin one too, for it to sound good, so it's like Wahay! COOL man.
a sea of sombreros to hear what you've done, it's like so cool dude, like i just don't know what to say.
