Distorted playback...sometimes

[kozikowski]

A digitizing system has to assign numbers to every note you perform if we have any hope of playing the notes back later. The WAV you posted has some high pitched, crisp sound energy dangerously close to the digitizing limit and the recorder might have trouble making a proper sound file, or worse, the digitizer guesses at it and different playback systems may have trouble playing it back. At worse case, the playback can create audible trash that didn't used to be there in the original show at all.

I reduced the treble in the performance very slightly. I expect some 9-year old girls in the audience might notice the change. The change will go right by men and any girls older than that.

See what happens. I'm on the edge of my seat.

Sorry to have to ask, but where's your version? I don't see it attached inside your response.

[kozikowski]

where's your version?

I don't have a version. I applied that single filter to the sound file you post on the forum and it appeared to solve what I perceive to be the slight conflict. I didn't keep the second file and I couldn't get the original to break.

I posted how I did it.

Select a sound file you know breaks with the Select button on the left. Effect > Low Pass Filter: 18000, 24dB > OK. Export it with a slightly different name so you can find it later.

See if the new one breaks.

Oh, I see, sorry for my density. Same thing happened in Apple Music and nowhere else so I suspect the issue has to do with the Music app, not the file itself. The end use of the file will not be with Music anyway so I am hoping for the best, but I really appreciate your input! Thank you.

Same thing happened in Apple Music

You applied the filter and the music is still distorted?
