Audio Clipper

Functional Description
 Clips the amplitude of the audio signal to within the limits specified in the Parameter Window, as summarised in the following table. Stereo signals have separate adjustments for left and right channels.

Parameter Purpose
"Upper" slider Sets the upper clipping threshold. Any signal amplitude which exceeds this threshold will be clipped to the threshold value.
"Lower" slider Sets the lower clipping threshold. Any signal amplitude below this threshold will be clipped to the threshold value.
"Symmetric clipping" checkbox If selected (the most common scenario), the lower threshold is forced to equal the negative of the upper threshold, so that the clipping is symmetric about the zero level.
"Clip to +/- 1" checkbox If selected, the threshold sliders are overridden and the audio is clipped to within +/- 1.
"Output gain" slider Scales the overall amplitude of the output signal (after the clipping has been applied).

Algorithm
Floating-point arithmetic.
