In the Cakewalk console view, you can monitor your input meters during recording.
If the levels get up to 0db, you get the red light, indicating clipping.
I did some experiments last night to see what the effect of clipping was on the actual audio track. It appears that even thought the signal appears to be clipping a small amount, there dont seem to be any audio "repercussions". I can't hear any distortion.
If I push the levels WAY past the clipping point, I can hear distortion.
So, when does clipping really occur?
Can I assume that Cakewalk's meters are giving me a "safety zone" of headroom?
I appreciate any and all responses!
