This is going to seem like a really basic question to many on here, but I've seen conflicting advice on the net.
If the chain's level goes 'into the red' after, say, a compressor, but you EQ it down immediately after that, will the final signal going to the master chan be clipped from being too loud after the compressor?
The reason I ask is because Ableton's website seems to say that no clipping can occur between effects in a chain because there's "practically unlimited headroom". But that doesn't seem to make sense to me, and there's advice posted in various places that you shouldn't allow that to happen because it causes clipping.
Anybody know which it is?
