Interesting how you can make a new page out of a lot of chat on another talk page isnt it?-- Light current 07:47, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
Soft clipping and "gain compression" are really the same thing, and I think we should cover them in the same article. I think that would really help clarify the concepts; comparing how they are used. Should the article be here or there? — Omegatron 14:35, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
It would be helpful to see an example of non soft clipping or a plot showing an ideal response for the voltage transfer curve. — Preceding

THe inclusion of dynamic range comressors into this page seems to be causing some difficulty. Perhaps a completely sperate para ( or different page) is needed to remove any ambiguity. Comments? 8-)-- Light current 15:00, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
I have rearranged para to try to segregate intentional use of compression (agc etc) from the other main maenings on the page. Is this satisfactoily clear now., or does it need more work?-- Light current 15:10, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
OK. Well I hope they are now differentiated satisfactorily. 8-|-- Light current 16:22, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
Quote: "But it's not a change in gain; it's non-linear distortion. The output level stays relatively the same as the input level goes higher." -- What is distorted if not the output? Additionally, I failed to understand the difference between level (dynamic range) compression, gain compression and soft clipping. Is it right that intentions/reasons are different but the effect is the same? Is the soft clipping a technique for DRC? -- Javalenok 09:16, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
Not an earth-shattering issue but would someone be able to add a few words to elaborate on this gloss: "due to topology differences", found in the Relevance section? Yes, vacuum tubes and transistors have different "topologies" from each other. There's a lot more glass in a vacuum tube, for instance, and tubes stand taller in a chassis than a typical power FET does. Is this what you mean? :) -- Jelsova ( talk) 17:16, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
You know, this article is completely unintelligible to anyone who doesn't already know what gain compression is.-- Atlantictire ( talk) 23:24, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
Since the caption is intended to explain the image, it would really help to say red curve using red font, and green curve using green font so readers can quickly find the explanations for those curves. It also helps to bold face the bottom explanation of what is the definition of the article. Why the objection? Mr. PIM ( talk) 22:21, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
The section "Differences between clipping and compression" could be helped with two types of pictures:
