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.


Don't need to, more than 3 or so consecutive samples at dFS is usually
considered over, (unless it's a test recording of a square wave) how far
over is irrelevent to the definition (if not the sound), it's still clipped.


Strange, the Tascam machines don't light the over light until five consecutive
FS samples occur. And my RTW bench meter lights the over light when only two
consecutive ones do.
