Clipping.... F**KING CLIPPING! |
 |
ok does sound clipping depend on your soundcard?
because my laptop soundcard seems to have a lower dB ceiling than a lot of other peoples songs?
or is that just because they're professionally recorded? |

It´s because their professionally recorded/mastered.
A wave-file always has a standard dynamic range. This means that a ´professionally´ recorded wave-file clips at the same amplitude-value as your home-made songs.
A bad soundcard however can produce a more distorted sound than a good/pro soundcard, but this means that both the ´pro-songs´ as your own songs sound terrible when played through the same soundcard.
Hope you understand it, cause English isn´t exactly my native language  |

If this clipping you're experiencing is an in-program problem though, you may want to lower the speaker gain via configuration.  |

whenever I write songs in madtracker, I always have my configuration at uhmm.. a gain of 5, not 4 cause when I export the wave, I alway have too maxamize the *. wav file in goldwave, even at a "5 gain". but I use a gain of 5 so that silences never gain any white noise, or static. A gain of 4 , at least for me, leave too much of a gap for maxamizing the valume to whatever. other then that, it could be your speakers if thiers distortion, laptops dont exactly have studio quality sound comeing out of the factory speakers, but it still can make studio quality music for sure. |
