Re: New Firmware - no read-only scenes
Remembering that all digital mixers have an analog circuit at (at least) one point.
If the clipping is on the analog side of the A/D and D/A converters, clipping will be analogue, and will usually be a "soft-clip" (where the signal distorts/compresses). That's fine, and on the X32 seems quite nice.
If the clipping occurs inside the digital side, that clipping is bad. Each end of those waveforms stop at 0dBFS, with nothing in the middle, except for the wincing as the drivers pop. And any damage that might result in.
As long as you know where the clipping is occurring, you can use it to your benefit.
