AUPeakLimiter and/or WaveForm Statistics Problem

[chsharp]

Amadeus v1.3.3 beta 1
(tried also on Amadeus 1.3.2)
OS X 10.5.4
MacBook Pro

I've been trying to use PeakLimiter to fix some live recordings.

I've found that after applying PeakLimiter to a file with no clipping, when I check Waveform Statistics it says that the file has Clipped Samples.

In addition, if I use "Find Next Clipped Sample" on the file I find a lot more clipped samples than Waveform Statistics reports even if I sum both channels.

Isn't PeakLimiter supposed to automatically limit the output so it isn't clipped?

In addition, there seems to be a discrepancy between the number of clipped samples found in Waveform Statistics and those found in "Find Next Clipped Sample". I've only noticed this after using PeakLimiter.

Thanks.

I suppose that you are referring to Apple's AUPeakLimiter Audio Unit.
I don't have any control over what this does However, the
discussion <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jsp ... ID=1365314>
on Apple's forums may shed some light on the problem you experienced.
