Hi all,
 
I'm sure I'm missing something really basic here but anyway... is there a way to remove clipping/reduce the gain from a certain section on the Right audio channel only?
 
I've programmed a track using all softsynths but now looking at the exported audio there are a couple of sections with minor clipping. Can I reduce this from the wav file I've exported? Or do I have to go back into my original project and reduce volumes there?
 
Many thanks :)

Can I reduce this from the wav file I've exported?

 
No. Once it's clipped, it's clipped
 

Or do I have to go back into my original project and reduce volumes there?

 
Yep, it's the only way.

Hi. If you have the file without clipping but uneven levels, you could split it to dual mono, and process individually per track.
All the best.

A clipped file is an absolute absurdety.
Reduce the volumen in your project and / or use a limiter in the total mix.

Magic.
 
Processing only the right side will be up to you but......
 
There was also a once upon a time a de-clipper by steinburg if i recall correctly

Your exported file needs to be under 0db. No clipping. Otherwise go back to the multi track and re mix. 
 
Use Solo to find the offending track.  
Look for the tracks peak and hold meter showing red. 

You can try the LP 64 multi band on your master buss. Make sure to set the attack fast. 
The multi band will only compress the offending frequency not the whole song. 
 
You can fix stereo files in a wave editor by zooming in on the overs and applying gain reduction. But that takes a long time if there are a lot of them. I only do that on one shot live recordings. Wave editors let you edit left or right or both.

are we talking clipping as in that nasty chirp digital audio makes when clipping ?
or are we talking the meters clipped in the red ?
 
there is a big difference.

There is no audible distortion/nasty chirp in the finished track but the waveforms on the Right channel are peaking (if that makes sense) and the meters seem to be clipped in the red on occasion too.
 
Thanks.

Thanks for your advice. How do I split the file do dual mono?

Thanks... would I use a limiter in the original (multitrack) project? Or on the exported audio?
