Right, I certainly know what CAN be done, and unfortunately the common
practice these days is to do it BOTH ways to gain even more "loudness".

think they can get away with.


I suggest that the clipping does more with harshness than loudness, and
adds comparatively little in comparison to compression and limiting.

..... which makes it even more pointless and vile.
