Fix Audio Clipping in Audition

Have you ever run into a case where you finished shooting and thought everything was good with your audio but when you download all of your audio files and footage, find that some of the audio is clipped and distorted? Not super bad, but just a few clips here and there? I have and so I tried putting Adobe Audition’s de-clipper to work to see if we could fix that. And it turns out that it works reasonably well if you have relatively mild clipping so you can save your audio from the digital audio distortion demons!
