Meaning
Clipping occurs when a signal exceeds a representation or processing stage's available level and its peaks are cut or distorted.
A practical example
An overdriven narration may contain flattened peaks and harsh consonants even if its exported volume is later reduced.
What to check
Turning down a clipped export does not reconstruct lost peaks. Inspect the source and prevent overload earlier in the recording or processing chain.
