The Clip command clips any sample value lower than a lower bound to that bound, and higher than an upper bound to that bound.

The audArray parameter specifies the audio data to clip, and must be a dense, rectangular, one or two dimensional Array, Vector, or Matrix, with datatype=float[8].

The low=lowValue option specifies the lower bound to which intensities will be clipped. Values below this will become equal to lowValue.

The high=highValue option specifies the upper bound to which intensities will be clipped. Values above this will become equal to highValue.

If only one of low=lowValue or high=highValue is specified, the other bound is left open (unbounded).

If neither low=lowValue or high=highValue is specified, the values -1.0 and 1.0 respectively are used.

The Clip command is often useful after performing other audio processing operations that may have produced out-of-bound values, and before performing operations that are not defined on out-of-bound values. It can also produce distortion-like effects (like electric guitar fuzz).
