So, guess what my negative peak was. 0 DB. You're right again.

Neal:
The answer is that you need to look at the positive and the negative
peak. They normally don't match, and the one with the largest value is
used to determine the normalize offset. I'll bet your negative peak in
this case was very close to 0 to begin with. That would explain the
clipping when forcing the positive value to 0dB.
Note: this is normal; all audio programs work this way.

Rob, On several occasions when using SR, I normalize a file to 0 DB and
when I check the measurements, the positive peak is something like minus
3.2 or something like that. When I raise the volume to 0 with the
volume module, the file is distorted. If I undo the volume change and
try normalizing again, I am told that the file is already at the level I
have set. It is often a mono file. I know there is an answer here, I
just don't know what it is. I bet, however, that you do. So, may we
have your wisdom on this one?
