The Signal Clip Events browser displays historical clip events from the current session. The columns displayed show the relevant timecode for the beginning and ending of a clip event. When used in a stereo track, the first column shows L or R to indicate if the left or right channel has clipped. The Min and Max values in this browser will always be zero, unless the Clip level is set below zero. The contents of this browser can be sorted in ascending and descending order by any column simply by clicking on the desired column one or more times.
The time information displayed in this browser is relative to where the transport started. The Offset field can be used to adjust the timecode values if TL MasterMeter is being used for historical metering but the session was started from a point other than the beginning. If TL MasterMeter is being used in real time, the timecode information in this browser can be ignored.
At the bottom of the browser, the Peak field displays the highest dB value of the audio signal received so far. The Events field shows the historical total of clip events in the audio signal. Once TL MasterMeter reaches 2,000 clip events, it ceases to record additional events. Although the meters remain active and the Peak field continues to be updated, new events will not be added to the browsers. The Events field flashes “2000” to indicate this condition.
The information in this browser is cleared using the Clear button, or is cleared automatically whenever the Pro Tools transport is started.
The Oversampled Clip Events browser displays historical clip events from the DSP oversampling of the session audio. The amount of potential clipping in excess of 0 dB is also displayed.
The columns displayed show the relevant timecode for the beginning and ending of a clip event, as well as the minimum and maximum clip values created after passing through the DSP processing. When used in a stereo track, the first column shows L or R to indicate if the left or right channel has clipped. The contents of this browser can be sorted in ascending and descending order by any column simply by clicking on the desired column one or more times.

The Oversampling field displays the current oversampling factor in use by the DSP processing. This will vary between 2x, 4x and 8x oversampling depending on the session sample rate.
