Nasty Surprise - 32-Bit Float

I put clean 16 bit performance sound on three sound channels, one above the other.

Tracks > Mix > Mix and Render to a New Track.

The new track (#4) overloaded from the addition of the original three sounds. No problem. Audacity does all its work in 32-float which never overloads. Select Track Four, Effect > Amplify -6dB > Apply.

What I actually got was half-size clipping and overload damage. !!???!!

Let’s look at the Project Sample Rate in the lower left. Ummm. That display doesn’t seem to be there any more. !!???!!
