Detecting and marking clipping
The clip indicators in the channel meters help you determine whether clipping occurs in your file, and you can use the Find command to find audio that matches levels you specify. For more control, however, you can use the Detect Clipping tool.
From the Tools menu, choose Detect Clipping to scan a selection of audio for clipping and add markers where clipping occurs.
Markers can be quickly selected from the list in the Go To dialog. Also, markers are displayed in the Regions List for quick playback.

4.Click the OK button.
The selection is scanned and a marker is added whenever there are a number of sequential samples (determined by the Clip Length setting) with the same value above the Threshold setting.
