You managed to exceed 0dBFS? ;-)
Since "store bought CD's" vary in both peak and average levels by up to
20dB depending on genre, label, era, mastering engineer etc. the whole
concept above is a joke, not just the reply. Surely the easiest way to
determine clipping these days is to simply look at the waveform in your
DAW? Flat tops are a definite give away!

Trevor, I assume you're from England? Your name hints that. I like Trevor at Ace (UK). Very nice company. Even replaced an Ace CD I bought secondhand due to CD rot!! Shame there are no great reissue labels who'd do the same in the US!!!
