Calling Sequence

Clip(audArray, low=lowValue, high=highValue )

Parameters

audArray

-

Array, Vector, or Matrix containing the audio data to clip

low=lowValue

-

(optional) the lower bound

high=highValue

-

(optional) the upper bound

Description

• 

The Clip command clips any sample value lower than a lower bound to that bound, and higher than an upper bound to that bound.

• 

The audArray parameter specifies the audio data to clip, and must be a dense, rectangular, one or two dimensional Array, Vector, or Matrix, with datatype=float[8].

• 

The low=lowValue option specifies the lower bound to which intensities will be clipped. Values below this will become equal to lowValue.

• 

The high=highValue option specifies the upper bound to which intensities will be clipped. Values above this will become equal to highValue.

• 

If only one of low=lowValue or high=highValue is specified, the other bound is left open (unbounded).

• 

If neither low=lowValue or high=highValue is specified, the values -1.0 and 1.0 respectively are used.

• 

The Clip command is often useful after performing other audio processing operations that may have produced out-of-bound values, and before performing operations that are not defined on out-of-bound values. It can also produce distortion-like effects (like electric guitar fuzz).
