Waveform Clipping Overlay (Visual Red Highlights) Feature in Adobe Audition
As a music producer and audio editor, I often boost bass and intentionally allow clipping (especially on drums and kicks) to achieve punchy, loud mixes. However, Adobe Audition currently lacks an easy way to *visually identify clipped samples directly on the waveform*—unlike Audacity, which marks clipped peaks in red (Show Clipping Visually).
This feature is critical because:
- It helps me *see exactly where clipping occurs*, enabling me to control and preserve dynamic energy without over-limiting.
- It avoids over-normalization, which can result in inconsistent loudness across a track.
- It enhances precision in mixing workflows, especially for genres relying on intentional clipping for impact (e.g., hip-hop, EDM, bass-heavy tracks).
A waveform overlay marking clipped regions (0 dBFS) would be immensely helpful. Please consider adding this feature to Audition's waveform view.
