[chuck-users] recording with rec.ck: stereo and clipping

[Perry R Cook]

Graham,

Not sure on stereo, but you can probably fix your clipping
problem by inserting a DC Blocking filter in the chain.
There's a method provided for the PoleZero unitgenerator
called .blockZero that sets the coefficients.  Try 0.99
or so:

impulse i => PoleZero dcb => dac;

0.99 => dcb.blockZero;

while (1)       {
     1.0 => i.next;
     2.0 :: ms => now;
}
