Clipping occurring upon mixdown

[Defiance]

every time i mix and render with studio one the following message happens

"mixdown "trackname" has clipping, over 7 dbs"

and apparently, i don't quite understand the term.. but how do i go about fixing it so i doesn't clip

I have no idea...









Hmm....















Well.....













OK.....








Just my opinion follows:














When my system clips, its because I am pushing too many db out of the main. So i try and find a good balance in all created tracks, and slowly lower them untill the clipping stops. It could simply be that you are trying to export your tracks at a volume thats too loud. I also have had in my trails, errors from my soundcard. My soundcard was rather dookie, so when i went to export, i was pushing too many effects or whatever to good a good mix, it'd overload my cpu, causing my final mix to clip or studder. Try recording and mixing at a lower volume... if your still red lining, try and do it with less effects or "processes". Sorry i couldnt provide more information man, good luck.

it basically means something in your mixx is too loud..or even all of it by 7 decibals...check your main stereo out
on your program it should tell you how hott your mixx is..
idk about the program u use..but most recording programs show an audio out for each individual track..check those 2 see if its 1 track imparticular..if you already kindof like the sound of your current mixx..minus the clipping..you as a last resort could put a limiter vst on the main stereo out track..fyi if you do so it will be difficult to get it professionally mastered...hope that helps
