Bacteria, algae and other organisms thrive under warm water conditions this is obviously harmful not just for athletes but the general public in a commercial swimming pool, for competitive pools the water should be no higher than 82Â°F (28Â°C), for recreational pools the recommended maximum is 84Â°F (29Â°C).
Distortion is also used as a musical effect, particularly with electric guitars. The addition of noise or other outside signals (hum, interference) is not deemed distortion, though the effects of quantization distortion are sometimes deemed noise. A quality measure that explicitly reflects both the noise and the distortion is the Signal-to-noise-and-distortion (SINAD) ratio.
The short version. Hard digital clipping gives the highest apparent loudness, but also the most distortion and the biggest loss of low bass. Soft âanalogueâ clipping gives smoother, more âmusicalâ sounding distortion, and retains more âpunchâ or thump. Itâs still distorted, though. Limiting usually gives the cleanest, least distorted results, but also reduces the apparent loudness the most, with the biggest loss of âpunchâ.
