Hi! I'm bringing back this thread from the dead. Within it, there is a concern with not having an overall master bus, of which can be used for watching for any clipping. Since we have multiple buses in Qtractor with their own meters, I found that jmeter and meterbridge are very useful during the mastering process. (Yes, Rui, while you are the father of Qtractor and you don't believe it is a true DAW, I choose to believe otherwise! It's only missing this mixdown meter and the dreadful request for processing audio clips as reversed!) :) Anyhow, you can route playback to each of these meters to watch for clipping in the way I've shown in the attached screenshot. In my specific example, I've routed Qtractor to a meter when mixing and VLC to two meters when mastering. It's been incredibly helpful!
