Hey does anyone know how to get rid of a peak after it has been recorded? I think that it is called clipping, but I'm not sure how to do this in Pro Tools LE 6.4 if anyone can help please reply thanks alot.

First things first, did the clipping occurred while recording in the analogue domain (before A/D) or the digital domain (during/after A/D)?
Note that clipping is audible (you reach the top value and in digital it's UGLY), in analogue it distorts. If you are not clipping but the peak values are very high regarding the rest of the recording it's not a clipping problem this time.

I think the clipping occured in the digital domain because I didn't notice it during recording. But the clipping sounds almost like a skip in a cd or a fraction of a second pause, i want to get rid of it in the recording. I use an MBox PT LE 6.4. What can I do?

Try using some compression on which ever channel(s) is/are clipping. But it would be better to just do another take or 2. Especially, when in the digital realm.

I thought I heard about being able to use the pencil tool to "redraw the waveform" so it has a peak instead of a region where the audio has been hacked off at the top- the digidesign forum may be of more help. I know you can do stuff like that in editing programs like Bias Peak.

I know you can do stuff like that in editing programs like Bias Peak. The pencil tool can handle digital clipping, if it's not too harsh. You just zoom in the waveform enough so you can clearly see the distorted wave, then draw it clean  Alhough it's of course best not to record too loud signal, or use a slight compressor / limiter so no clipping occurs. |
