Re: Do the math...

*** In any case the vertical resolution you can view is limited by your vertical pixel resolution on your screen. ***

Cool Edit allows you to zoom in down to individual samples - it does not rely on a low resolution representation of the waveform.

Cool Edit also allows to you zoom in vertically (as much as you want).

The only thing wrong with Cool Edit is that it interpolates a straight line between samples (but so does every other editing tool i know of). As per the AES paper, this is wrong.

What it should really be doing is drawing the reconstructed waveform (after removing frequencies above Nyquist) between samples. However, this takes way too much computational power. If it really did that, then more people will realise the reconstructed waveform can have peaks exceeding the highest digital sample.

*** It really is of no consequense the difference between the loudest and the softest sample is proportional to the difference between any sample. ***

Your statement highlights your ignorance and the reason why you confuse relative dynamics with dynamic range.

*** The sample rate isn't of any consequence for the reconstruction method. Only the parameters, such as the filters corner frequency , changes. ***

Instead of you parading your ignorance again, why don't you actually read that AES paper I referenced?

*** Measuring beteen pcm samples is indeed very dubious because as you indicated, the reconstructed waves amplitude differs from the samples amplitude. ***

Again, read that AES paper. Who knows, you might actually learn something for a change.
