Clipping


Ahtovin Morph

Question

is there a Plug in or something that could control or avoid clipping while recording. I have a condensor Mic that sounds reall good and have it set to a good recording level but there is a certain level where the recording clps and glitches or creates a interferance sound. I can see it when the levels clips while I am recording and I was wondering if there is a plug in, noise compresor or noise gate that could help me avoid the interferance/clipping. The best example I can use would be to record a scream without clipping or lowering the level so the rest of the track wont be so low volume 

Thanks

The simple answer is no. Any plug-in would be after the “clip”. Use an analog compressor to control the level, or set the gain low enough to avoid the clipping. 
Two schools of thought in the modern age. With 24 bits of headroom, and the low self noise of modern hardware, most just set the gain low enough to avoid clipping. Being of a certain age, I prefer to compress on the way in. Take your choice.
