There are several tools counting the number of overs.plexuss wrote:
There are no right tools when it comes to ISP clip detection. I use Apple RoundTripAAC because it's the only ISP clip meter that measure ISP clip "velocity" (# of clips over a period of time). A meter that tells me there was "a clip" is not useful - one predicted clip here or there is not going to break the bank. But a stream of clips is a sign of a problem.
I don't get your problem you have in this discussion. There is clipping audio and there are ISPs. When ISPs cause clippings in the D/A converter, these clippings are so to say a subset of clipping that can occur with digital audio. Audio can be 'perfectly' clipped somewhere in the chain and still don't produce any ISP clippings. You could record a fine track showing nowhere going to full scale dBfs and you could cause ISPs somewhere. The ISP metering can 'predict' the possibility of an ISP or several. As there are no perfect methods to achieve these results, the EBU norm gives a tolerance for this metering. This is what Fabfilter told fully correct. Therefore there are indeed "right tools" when it comes to ISPs - the clipping cannot be detected, because it is in the D/A conversion - the ISP "detection" is more a probablity, a prediction what could happen or likely will happen.
