Re: "Show Clipping" Options

I'm also in the camp of people who want the sound meter peak flashers to automatically fade. In my world, they're only useful once per take.

Re: "Show Clipping" Options

They may not have fallen off it if they are only touching 0 dB or only over it one sample at a time.
