10) Magnify Your Metering on Gold Clip
Did you know that GOLD CLIP's meters and waveform display scaling can be magnified?
The default scaling is
+6 dBFS -> -36 dBFS
But if you double-click the scale on either side of the display you can zoom in to
+4dBFS -> -24dBFS
and
+2dBFS -> -12dBFS.
Zooming in to see more of the peaks will help you dial in a more precise amount of clipping. Not only does the waveform display zoom, but the I/O meters and Clip Ceiling change scaling as well.
Watch this 30-second video to see it in action!
Be well,
