I'm guessing that PT has a more conservative definition of clipping than
the dude that mastered the CD you're trying to rip. Some people consider
1 sample at full scale to be clipping, some consider 3, some others as
much as 5.
Well, technically speaking one FS sample is just another digital value
- not clipped. Two at FS would be interpolated correctly by the
reconstruction filter, and would not represent a clipped signal. Three
or more would not be correctable, and would be clipping. That assumes
that the original signal was not a flat top, of course.
There's no way of knowing really, and that's the reason there are many
definitions of clipping in the digital realm. I try to keep the largest
peak at -0.1 dB, that way there's no question.
