Dennis,

No clipping at all on this one. The highest peak appears to be about -0.5 db or so.

Recording at lower levels may affect the dynamics somewhat, but this isn't the only problem with it. Another major problem with recording anything at a substantially lower level than 0 db ( clipping level ) becomes the signal to noise floor ratio. Naturally, when you normalize the level of a piece that peaks well below 0 db, the noise floor that gets recorded along with the signal will rise along with it.
