Hey guys,

as the title says, i really can't help clipping, I've tried everything possible,
i EQed everything, did a good mix-down, compression, and added Ozone 5, I TRIED EVERYTHING and it's still clipping, the only way it won't clip is when its really really low, like REALLY low, and music SUCKS when it's low, specially EDM you know,

guys please i need detailed help, thanks..

Just TURN THE MASTER FADER DOWN and leave the mastering to someone else.

You might be mixing too loud if elements are clipping. Juggling elements just to stay under the 0dB line is never a good idea. Mix quieter and turn your speakers up. Maybe aim to be peaking at about -10 (or indeed any level you want that leaves you plenty of headroom). That way all your mixing and processing decisions will be about how they affect the sound, not about staying below 0dB. Being free to concentrate on the just the sound while never having to worry about clipping is a good thing. Once you've got your track sounding good, then you turn everything up and start thinking about chopping peaks up at the limit.

Also, bear in mind that a bit of clipping might not necessarily mean your track is ruined, especially if you're already hitting the limiter so hard that it might as well be clipping anyway. Mix it out and listen. If it sounds good, it is good.
