Try listening to some music with clipping, take 4th of july from Amy MacDonald for instance, now, if you don't hear it clip like mad when she hits the highs, it's your ear, I don't think anything can save that.. It's not like I'm playing my audio in audacity to look for clipping waveforms, but sometimes I hit some song that I really like, and notice the clipping, and spend a bunch of time debugging my setup, and FINALLY look at the waveform, and well... "people in mastering studios know what they are doing, much better than you" yea, yet that soft lil waveform is trying to break through the fucking roof, and while it could have done that (up to -3 db!) on my reel to reel player, it has no place to go in an audio file, and so it's just a cut off top, and, behold, gasp! that's where in the song the clipping is, like, the same place, what a coincidence.
