Audio Clipping Detector

Scan an audio file for clipped (full-scale) samples and consecutive-sample clip runs, with a per-channel count and the worst timestamps — all in your browser.

A "clip" here is a sample within ~0.004 dB of full scale; a "run" is 3+ in a row, the fingerprint of hard clipping rather than a single legitimate peak. Even a clean-looking sample-peak can hide inter-sample overs — pair this with the True Peak Checker for the full picture.
References: AES17 (full-scale digital level); ITU-R BS.1770-4 (true-peak context)
