Default Clipping on professionally produced CD's

Here the masterer casts aspersion on Audition's metering, which I
always took to be a good meter, but anyway, it's an example of
something showing clips in Audition and the creator of the file is
saying there are no actual overs, FWIW.

What a load of crap, there is no "metering" necessary to rip a CD and
display the clipping in any wave editor. And any mastering engineer who
can't tell the CD is really clipped should be out of a job for being
technologically incompetent.


Hint: there is no one definition for an "over" because you can in fact
not measure how far over the signal has gone once it has clipped. All
you can do is decide how many consecutive FS samples you consider an over,
and not everybody sets the limit at the same place.
