As in a previos post I have been seeking an answer to where the recording clip meter is .I have reinstalled my windows and sf products and still no clip meter when the signal is overdriven! Im pulling out my hair I need this function when i do live recording.

Keith,

Do you have the 1st edition of Sound Forge 5.0? If so, I believe that is your problem. When I first installed SF 5.0's 1st edition (5.0a???), I couldn't get the clip meter to appear when I recorded in 16 bit. When I upgraded to 5.0b (through the Sonic Foundry website) everything was okay.

You should do a test and record things in different bit-depths to see how it affects your clip meter. I found that 24-bit recordings seemed the least flawed with the early version of SF 5.0. Hope that helps.

I have 5.0b build 162 and in 16 bit still no clip meter i will try the 24 bit recording and see what happens.

Thanks for the advise. ( ANYONE FROM SF. HAVE AN IDEA? )
