Of course once the signal is digitised, there is no way to know for
sure if it has been clipped - all you can do is apply some kind of rule
such as "4 or more consecutive full scale samples is probably a clip".
Does VinylStudio allow you to parameterise this? For example, some
older soundcards (eg. the Creative ones based on the Ensoniq 137x
chipset) have some sort of analgue saturation/clipping at about -2dBFS,
and the samples delivered are not all at the same level. So to detect
clipping through a soundcard like that, you need to be able to set a
threshold level.

I can't speak for Cunobelinus, but I started out doing this in order to
digitise LPs that were unavailable or unaffordable on CD. Then after a
while I found I was enjoying the process, so I began transferring some
LPs that were on CD but were not that essential to me. But as a general
rule, I do buy the CD unless I know it's a poor transfer.
