| Mistake | Symptom | Fix | |----------|---------|-----| | Too much clipping | “Splat” sound, loss of highs | Lower clipper drive, use multiband first | | Over‑widening | Weak mono, phasy sound | Reduce to <50% or use “safe bass” mode | | Incorrect pre‑emphasis | Dull or harsh FM sound | Match your country’s standard | | No true peak limiting | Distortion on streaming | Enable TP limiter at –1 dBTP | stereo tool settings
