You should set the gain so the signal peaks are just hitting the
dotted headroom lines.
The Normalizer is capable of gaining +18dB.
The Clipper
The Softclipper smoothly eliminates any overshoot that might
occur. Please note that if you drive the Clipper too hard, you
might introduce noticeable distortion on signals with a low
harmonic content and/or on very pure signals. The distortion
introduced is somewhat similar to the tape saturation that can
occur when overdriving an Analog tape recorder.
When processing Odelicate� material, such as classical
instruments, you should disable the soft clipper, to utilize the
full dynamic spectrum of these instruments. Use the Hard Clip
function instead (normal Digital clipping).
