When a signal reaches 0 dBFS, it will clip, causing unwanted distortion and digital artefacts. We measure the level of digital audio signals using dBFS, or decibels relative to full scale, where 0 dBFS represents the maximum level. How To Avoid True Peak Clipping When Mastering In this blog, I'll teach you how to create loud, powerful masters without causing clipping or sucking the life out of the mix. Eventually, when a mix becomes too loud, it loses dynamics and may even introduce unwanted distortion. However, it can be difficult to dial in a loud master without sacrificing sound quality. Loudness is one of the most important factors to consider when mastering - it can make the track feel more powerful, and provide a competitive advantage when played alongside other, quieter songs.
