Clipping on overheads

[CalariasDead]

i recorded drums with my digi 001 and everything turned out ok, except for the right overhead clipped on every snare hit. i must have not noticed while setting levels. is there any way i can fix this problem with out re recording the drums. i have pro tools 6.4 and the waves dimaond bundle to help

clipped means ruined.
if you mic'ed the overheads in order to capture the cymbals rather than just capture everything...then you might just try and edit out the clipped parts to save the cymbal hits. It might sound okay just to edit out the snare depending on what all the drummer was hitting during the clipped parts...you'll just have to try it and see.

Out of curiosity, can you hear the fact that it is clipped? Or are you just seeing that it is clipped on the wav form? There really isn't much you can do at all about clipping once it is laid down. Often times though you can get lucky and the clip won't have enough of an audible artifact to hurt your tracks. Sometimes you can use an analyzer to see what frequencies are being the most affected by the clipping and EQ those down until they are less noticable, but that method has mixed results.
