Description
Request via email:
One improvement that would help a lot with the Combine, and this might be a big ask for a web app is if it could show a levels meter that shows whether the audio is clipping. That was unfortunately difficult to tell and makes instrumental analysis of the data collected much harder if there was clipping. Is there a way to add that function optionally? It could be an optional advanced setting that a more advanced user would need to enable in project settings so as not to confuse less advanced users?
Active audio analysis during recording is beyond the scope of what we'll do with The Combine, but we could investigate the possibility of analyzing completed recordings in the backend and notifying users when there is possible clipping.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating the backend entry point that processes completed recordings and determine how clipping could be detected and reported. Done means users receive a clear notification when a completed recording may contain clipping, without adding active analysis during recording.
