Is there a plugin that checks your file for clipping?

Check sample editor in logic.
There's a function call search peaks.

Audacity (a simple multi track editor) does that - there's a visual setting which will show all the clips.

There must be plugins or DAWs that do this? But I don't know what.

Solid State Logic also has an inter sample peak meter:

Both are free!

iZotope RX
AudioLeak

SoundForge fearures a tool for statistics which report clipping with RMS and offset value as well.
Note that using the normalisation option in the bounce menu in Logic avoids any clipping.

Just dl'd AudioLeak. Dropped a wav file on it, and presto--it showed me peak data, and the graph was easy to read. Pretty much exactly what I needed, although I'm not sure what "weighted" and "unweighted" mean yet.

I read up on it a while ago and forgot the details but basically, and if i remember correctly, it takes into account perception curves of which frequencies people tend to perceive as loud as opposed to linearly measured loudness.

C'monn guys, don't guess, look it up! Research is what makes one wise:
A-weighting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia even with wiki.

There is also the afclip command line utility that indicates clipping and intersample clipping. You need the Apple audio mastering tools installed. (free download)
