Boon Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 yeah..with a DMM you can not really see clipping...but if the voltage stops increaseing as u turn the gain up...chanecs are you are in clipping then. other than that besides the mentioned programs for songs the only real way to know if you are clipping is using an o-scope.n any other way pretty much is as good as guessing besides real bad clipping you can yeah of course. The voltage keeps going up as you go into clipping. AC voltage is kinda tied to the area under the wave, as you increase clipping this increases so the voltage reading will increase.

OrenB217 Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 (edited) alot of dj programs have it, say you got a song thats recorded at +5db you can go ahead and normalize it to 0db or lower if you'd like and most of the time that will take care of the clipping in the song unless they just totally screwed the song up, nero verison 6 had a wave editer that came with it that had this option to adjust the normal db level of the song and you could play song watch the meter on the said to see if it went above 0db, if it di then aka it would clip at that point FL Studio 7 does that, but it is hella expensive. You can download it on torrent, but idk if you want to risk copyright penalties. Audacity just checks for clipping, but it doesnt fix it, but audacity is a free legal download.
