cliff effect
the cliff effect is when a digital signal (music/photo/video) ‘falls off a cliff’ when it fades out because the receiver can no longer tell which part of the wave is a digital 1 or 0, and there are more errors than can be corrected. the output of -n-log signals will get worse and worse in quality as it fades out and fail gracefully. this is especially a problem with digital cell phones because, rather than getting a more staticky call, it just drops the call completely.
a scratched vinyl lp record will still play, though at reduced quality while a cd will suffer the cliff effect when even so much as a fingerprint gets on it.
