Overload Detection
Overload is a condition where the input signal strength exceeds the full scale sensitivity of the sound card input. Known in the analog world as "clipping", it will cause severe distortion to occur.
If overload detection is enabled, the analyzer will test each incoming data block to determine if an overload condition is present and display a message in the status bar along the lower edge of the application. This message is shown in bright red and is very noticeable.
If you have chosen to exclude overloaded data from processing, the analyzer will not compute the spectrum when an overload condition occurs.
If an overload condition occurs, you will need to either reduce the input signal strength or decrease the input sensitivity of the sound card using the sound card's mixer utility.
