cubase se - remove peak distortion

[jjk748]

Hello all,

I'm new to recording with cubase se. After recording a keyboard using a Korg D888 we then moved it to my laptop. There's clipping or distortion in some places, I tried normalizing but that didn't work. Is the only thing I can do is lower the gain in the range of the clipping and let the other instruments hide it?

Would it be better to do all our recording straight into cubase se?

Thanks for your thoughts

It's tedious, but you can go into the Sample Editor and use the pencil tool to smooth out the offending clipped waveforms.

Thank you for your reply (Electriclight) I didn't know I could do that, I'll try it.

It needs to be said that clipping is always there. You can either reduce the volume or cut it out, but there is no way of transforming it to anything pleasant. It really depends on the nature of the clipping.
