Im with Bang on this,

As usual on web boards, things are misinterpreted and/or not understood properly.

Obviously distortion can be overdone if clipping -

Bottom line is - if it works ... it works!!

There was a really good A/B test that (I think) Dave Collins did over at PSW
a few years ago - he uploaded two different masters of the same mix.

One that was Limited

One that was clipped.

It really WAS funny when certain folks got what they thought was the limited one WRONG.In actual fact - although they didnt know it yet - most preffered the clipped one over the limited version.

And the clipping was done tastefully with no noticable distortion.
