Yup. The recorded files have no clipping. Playback when mixing has no clipping. However, the bounced files clip. I've experience this for 20yrs across Windows and Linux (so, not Qtractor specific.) I never understood why clipping has to be observed on the meters, but can't be heard when mixing. I can't tell you how many times I think I have the perfect mix, only to be disappointed on the bounced file. The simple answer is to not let them get hot through solutions like compression, or simply reducing gain. I wish I could hear the same clipping when mixing.
