Audition clipping when exporting multitrack Mixdown to FLAC.

Hi, 

I have recently been editing and exporting a whole bunch of DJ set recordings. I have been adding gain to the tracks, adding mastering effects, using volume automation + channel mixing automation whilst ensuring to check that I'm not pushing the output (post-effects) to clipping throughout any part of these recordings.

 

I have been exporting each Multitrack mixdown as mp3 and also as a flac, to have a copy of each file type on hand. 

 

I've now just noticed when re-opening each file in Audtion, the FLAC versions have a waveform which looks hugely clipped whilst the mp3 versions have all exported without clipping whatsoever.

 

See audio on left (FLAC export) compared to right (mp3 export). 

 

 

Can anyone shed light on this issue please?
