Another cool thing is…
If you use 32 bit float and export a mixdown in 32 bit float
AND do not have a brickwall limiter on your master Buss
AND your mix out levels exceed the 0 db clip of the master
It is not really a permanent destructive clip!
Import the wav and it will look like a sausage.
Go to process and normalize peaks to 0db.
The FULLY intact non clipped waveform is restored thanks to those extra scaling bits.
Doesn’t work with a 24 bit export.
In 24 bit, once you clip, it stays clipped.
