Recording using the Clip Safe function in Propellerhead Balance
If you are recording using the Propellerhead Balance audio interface, you can utilize the Clip Safe function to protect
your recordings from any accidental input signal clipping. The program can then take care of and heal any input sig-
nals that accidentally exceed 0dB.
See “Using the Clip Safe function with Propellerhead Balance” for more details.
! Note that the Clip Safe function can only be used when recording in mono (single audio input) and only on one
record enabled Audio Track at a time.
Proceed as follows to set up and activate the Clip Safe function:

2. Select audio input in the drop-down list.
! Note that you can only select the Balance In L or R (Mono Input) for the Clip Safe function to be available.
