Hi Sherry,

Excellent composition. I enjoyed it very much! You are most of the way there because you are starting out with a good piece compositionally.

The clipping can be the result of a few things and there are some suggestions.

First, make sure you use only dry instruments which don't take up as much CPU. Next, the ambience reverb in GPO Studio there is a CPU/Quality knob that you could turn down. This will free up resources. Next, check your soundcard settings and raise the buffers as high as thet can go. Make sure you adjust the wet/dry sliders in the ambience reverb - if they are too high this can produce distortion.

Hope this helps and keep up the good work!
