I understand the whole thing better now, thanks Cees. Thank you for bearing with me guys.

Vince, yes you did explain that and I read it once more and get your point. But the distortion on The Doors' track which I have mentioned earlier doesn't sound like a small distortion within a mix of other signals. It is briefly audible and goes through the whole track. That was why I was...

Cees,

Vince, What I mean by "same thing" is; during the process of recording, because of one or several of the reasons you have mentioned in your post if the signal is cut at the top and bottom, that signal will be a clipped signal and it will be recorded on the disc, let's say, as a clipped one...
