I'd rather have a guage or > something to tell me when it clips and by how much. I don't see that these two features are exclusive. I think a virtual 'red light' would be a good idea to alert the user to clipping. Sometimes it's not obvious by ear - like if you're recording a guitar with effects which already has a clipped sound, even though the levels are right. Other times I've thought clipping was taking place because the waveform was extended towards the edges of the track window, only to find that we just got away with it... Presumably automatic gain control could be disabled in Preferences for people who prefer to set their level manually. Cheers Daniel |
