Qustion to the minds of the bar

[The Dong]

Don Solaris is one of these I must win, nobody can educate me type of 
bullshitters? Could be ;)

I bet he googles himself and finds this comment and hunts me down 
telling me 1 + 1 = 2. There is no other way.

I'll just reply 1 + 1 = 1 too :)

I don't read up much about DSP, most of it boggles me because most of it 
is far from conventional, but I instinctively (or logically) know that 
adding two binary values that are over half the byte/word size together 
results in an overflow. In the case of audio, this means bits ARE lost 
during the whole process, unless you never mix much things together at 
the same time that are louder than a pin dropping or save all your 
projects at 256KHz 64bit resolution and never, ever let anyone else hear 
them on any other medium ;)

I bet Don believes the developers of software never f' things up or 
program a lot by trial and error or by constant compromise and all 
follow some god written book that says repeatedly "1+1=2" to solve 
everything.

Hehe.

I could go on, but basically bits are lost all over the place in the 
audio universe and not just by mixing engines, mostly caused by the 
black hole that is under a DJ's cranial undergarments thinking that 
everything has to be at maximum volume with maximum compression and 
crushing the limiters ;)
