  4. Why does the VI Player clip?

    Thanks for the detailed reply. I hope you see that all I'm trying to do is make my workflow easier, and that d*mn distortion is very annoying. Sure, I can lower the volume (and do), but by then it is too late for my ears!

    Honestly I'm surprised that the VI is not 32bit floating point. Why not?

    you mean - what?

    internal processing? storage?

    Of course, internal processing and interface to the host.

    vi does float processing. host then converts for drivers. today 24bit integer output is usual.

    Well, you might want to actually read what is written in this thread...

    Sorry, I didn't realize that golem speaks from "inside".

    So it gets more mysterious, actually. If the VI internally works with 32Bit float, why isn't it passing the data to the host via 24Bit fixed?

    If that is not true, why does it clip?

    Maybe I'm not really getting Daryl's post, thinking about it and actually reading what golem wrote. ;-)

    Daryl, is your clipping inside the VI or somewhere later in your mixing environment?

    The clipping is inside the VI player. Just play a few harp notes very loudly and you will see.
