On the subject of the Banshee screaming contest... At least one poster here can say that he participated last Friday. It was moved to the KI Theater because of the weather, and he got to see behind the scenes of that stage because of his participation. He didn't win, but they do give you a free t-shirt for participating.

Not that that poster was me, of course. I'd never do that...

[in raspy whisper:] Where'd I put those throat lozenges...

From reading the official rules, I figured that they were using an actual decibel meter for judging. Taking the volume from a vocal mic is going to be less accurate. (Not that it really matters.)

If I had to guess, I'd guess it's due to the phenomena in digital recording known as "Clipping".

Let's not get me on a digital vs. analog tirade though.

Clipping applies to analog as well. The mic has a maximum response, which doesn't depend on whether you use an analog or digital recording system to measure it.
