[RWP] at the risk of incriminating myself

[colin McDonald]

your input to the soundcard is way way too high if you have to bring reaper 
down by 30DB and still get clipping.
the clipping is likely happening before the soundcard, so no matter how much 
you bring the volume down in reaper, the source is clipping so you can't get 
rid of it unless you turn the source input down IE the keyboard, or 
trim/attenuator on the mixer.
The great thing about reaper, is it has massive head room to turn things up, 
so record your source at a lower volume, then bring it up...far better than 
trying to get rid of unwanted distortion or clipping from the source.
It's always easier to increase volume, than try to fix a clipping issue once 
it's recorded.

regards
Colin
