I’ve been doing more audio editing with FCP X and I got to Creative Cow to look up this precise question, why it might be read in the timeline waveform but not clipping in the audio meters.
I’ll be honest….I read the thread and it seems like there is no answer, other than the fact that perhaps there is a limiter that leads the timeline waveform to go red while my meters don’t clip.
I guess I’m asking for the bottom line from those who would know better: should i ignore the timeline waveforms and just go by the audio meters? I’m using good headphones and it doesn’t seem to be clipping in those cases when the meter is good but the waveform is red.
