Real-time Rendering - Tweaking while recording

Tracktion Engine

Hi @dave96

Any idea when this might get looked at?

Thanks

I donā€™t think thereā€™s actually any problem here.
I think the issue is that the default patch of 4OSC is basically a sin wave going from Ā±1.0f.

So if you play multiple notes, it will clip.
Try loading another patch or just turning the level down on the volume control.

Why is the real-time audio playback not clipping?

Not quite sure but maybe your system audio device isnā€™t clipping the output to Ā±1.0 or maybe it gets reduced with some OS gain etc.

But when you write values greater than 1 to a wav format which gets converted to integers, they will hard clip at 1 Iā€™m guessing.

I added the parameter masterLevel=ā€œ-10.0ā€ to my 4OSC and I donā€™t have any more clipping on recording. Thanks Dave!
