Anyway, it's pretty common for a commercial CD to show overs on a
user's computer though the person who mastered it will insist there
were no overs in mastering and that it was. Google took a break from
SOPA blackouting and yielded a few, including this one where the user
also was in Audition:

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.

In addition to realtime meters, Audition has a function that will scan a
selection--whole file in this case--and produce amplitude statistics.
From "Late in the Evening" we have:



Front Left Front Right
Peak Amplitude: 0.00 dB 0.00 dB
Maximum Sample Value: 32767 32767
Minimum Sample Value: -32768 -32768
Possibly Clipped Samples: 48 76


That few clipped samples in a good-sized musical selection is probably not
audible.

There are 41,000 samples in every second of the song.
