Clipping is a form of waveform distortion that occurs when an amplifier is overdriven and attempts to deliver an output voltage or current beyond its maximum capability. Driving an amplifier into clipping may cause it to output power in excess of its power rating.

Audio Clip means a contiguous sound recording excerpt of up to thirty (30) seconds in length taken from a single Authorized Track.

The purpose of Audio Clips is to hold the samples displayed & triggered in the Playlist where they can be sliced and arranged as required.

To sum it up for you: The best ways of refurbishing a clipped recording through editing are using equalization and applying compression. There are also a few good De-Clippers in audio repair software out there. This will usually help to make your clipped track sound at least a little more natural.

Clipping in the mic happens because you are going above the limit in your gain(volume meter) above 0db which will show as orange or red, to stop it just turn the volume of the channel where you are recording down keeping it below 0db.

Clipping occurs when the signal input to a step of sound processing (such as the mic capturing the sound, the computer recording it, or any hardware in between touching it) can’t handle the level of the signal in whatever form it is in.

Clipping is what happens when there is too much input, or gain, for the output to handle, so it clips and distorts – it sounds horrible. Try it yourself, increase the input and volume sliders up in your DAW to the max, see the red flashes everywhere and hear the gloriously nasty clipping distortion – that’s clipping.

You’ll know when you have severe clipping because you’ll hear it. It sounds like the audio is starting to ‘break up,’ which is light distortion. The more severe it is, the more distorted the music begins to sound until it can become unrecognizable in an ocean of noise and loudness.

So you’ve created an absolutely banging tune and it is time to give it a final polish making it ready for mastering. But, the little clipping indicator has been lighting up while your song plays, perhaps so much so the sound of your mix sounds rough and undesirably ugly.

You can make your mix louder without clipping by using a limiter. A limiter allows you to set peak loudness, preventing clipping, while also allowing you to increase the volume of all other sounds in your mix.

The problem with bass-frequencies is that they eat up a lot of headroom but we’re not very sensitive to it. So if your mix has too much bass, your master will always either be more quiet in comparison, or it will clip. The problems might even be laid out earlier in the production stage.

So here’s a step-by-step guide on how to increase audio volume without clipping audio in Audacity:

1. Go to Effect>Compressor.
2. Set your ratio up to 4:1.
3. Set your threshold anywhere between -15 to -6, the lower the threshold the more compressed and louder your audio will become.
4. Leave the rest of the settings as default.

Right-click the Volume/Audio icon located in the system tray at the right side of the taskbar panel. Click on Playback Devices. In the opened window, under the Playback tab, select Speakers then click Properties to open the Speakers Properties window. Go to the Enhancements tab and tick Loudness Equalization.

Right-click the speaker system tray icon and select Playback devices. Then right-click your default speakers and select Properties to open the window below. Select the Enhancements tab shown directly below. Select the Loudness Equalization option.

For some Android phones, you may not be able to increase or decrease the volume during setup by using the physical volume buttons, but you can adjust this in the Sounds section of your settings app. Tap Sounds. Tap Volumes. Drag all sliders to the right.

In general, people can plug multiple speakers in the same room and that will generate more sound, of course. However, another way to make the sound amplify louder is to set the speaker in a corner or close to the corner. This can actually amplify the volume by 40 percent in the room.
