Thank you for taking the time to explain this concept in a clear & informative manner. Kudos for the Mel Torme impression on Was (not Was) Zaz Turned Blue

Ha ha! I use that song all the time in my videos. You're the first person to get the reference 😅

sometimes i have one shots of drums that clip after i drag them in, even if i normalize to 0db peaks it doesnt change that.
I dont know what im doing wrong; track, item, and take volume were all at 0db, no effects and still clipping
i just turned down the take volume myself

@@hahaxolotl it's possible it's a sample rate conversion that's resulting in inter sample peaks. Or there's a plug-in in the chain somewhere :-)

[@hahaxolotl]

@@NLNPNL i have no idea, there is nothing anywhere except the sample and reaper, if i normalize to peak -0 or -1 or sometimes -2 it will peak consistenly, sometimes at +4. No clue why

[@hahaxolotl]

@@NLNPNL so turns out reaper normalizes before anything is applied to the sample, even stretching, and I guess stretching a sample makes it louder on transients
