Peter Gabriel's I/O - Love Can Heal

I got this album on Bandcamp at 96/24. Although no samples reach 0dBFS, they are still pretty close to the max, so many tracks have inter-sample clipping. I regularly hit clipping when down-converting Bandcamp tracks to 48kHz for MP3 encoding. For reference, these are the levels at 8x oversampling. If you have convolution, it will probably be worse.

Agreed! If you chose to mess with “bit perfection” it’d make sense to always alert when clipping occurs.
