In digital audio the absolute highest permissible audio level. Exceeding it causes severe clipping, a nasty kind of distortion. Instances where the signal goes into digital clipping are called >overs.
“I finally figured out one day that most producers don’t have the faintest idea what they’re doing. They simply have the position because of circumstance, or they’ve wormed themselves into it, and it really doesn’t amount to anything!”- Leon Redbone
