Glossary
full scale (abbr. FS)
In digital audio the absolute highest permissible audio level. Exceeding it causes severe clipping, a nasty kind of distortion. Instances where the signal goes into digital clipping are called >overs.
“Spend a lot of time listening. I listen all the time—I don’t have a TV or a Sega or all that stuff. And respect the players that did it all.”- Ishmael Butler of Digable Planets
