Important

If you record with effects, the effects become part of the audio file itself. You cannot change the effect settings after recording.

When you record with effects, consider using 32-bit float or 64-bit float format. This way, the bit depth is not reduced, which means there is no risk of clipping at this stage. Also, this preserves the signal quality perfectly. If you record in 16-bit or 24-bit format, the available headroom is lower, which means clipping can occur if the signal is too loud.
