Steven sent me an instant message today, pointing me to this thread on the Mike Portnoy forum…

In case the site disappears the thread advertises what looks to be a great program to remove the horrible clipping that occurs all too frequently on modern CDs. It reduces the the volume of the WAV file that it is asked to process and trys to repair the peaks that have clipped and been chopped off.

We’ll be looking into this program, and possibly ‘fixing’ some of our CDs that are distorted and clipped. We need to do some real tests at home first.
