48kHz master shows clipping when downsampled at 44.1kHz
I've done all of my mix and mastering at 48kHz-24bit, now my digital distributor allows for 44.1 flac only.
Rendering at such lower rate shows clipping in the peak (NOT talking true peak here just digital peak) with the current limiter setup. And yet I can't hear any clipping listening to the result while pushing my headphone ampli at the max tolerable by my ears.
Should I care about those clips and create a dedicated master specifically for 44.1kHz? Or should I just ignore those clips and export just another copy and let the DAW downsample it at 44.1kHz (if I recall even mp3 conversion would cause some clipping)?
Or something completely different (like let the DAW normalise the output)?
I'm not going to release any physical media or HD quality via this distributor, just common streaming on common platforms.
Thanks in advance!
PS: I've tried a quick search and missed pointers, if you know of exiting threads feel free to direct me there!
