Very good!

The clipping illustrates Rick's point about proper choice of microphone.

My microphone (like Rick's) is an Audio Technica. But, mine cost me about 1/10 what
Rick's cost his wife.

It might be possible to tweak think my recording setup to eliminate the clipping - but is it necessary for the level of analysis we're doing here? Can you "see" the clipping in the part of the spectrum I provided?

In other words...if you want to actually listen to music - you probably need to pay more than I did for the microphone. On the other hand, if you want to investigate Rick's claims about spectral features and their relationship with characteristic tuba sounds...perhaps quick and dirty is good enough.

Or not...your milage may vary.
