Clipping is a form of distortion. It is where the waveform peaks go outside the boundaries of the digital domain in which it exists - for example, a 16bit value (like on CD audio)can be anything from 0-65,535 - Psycle mixes down to 16bits before sending to the soundcard (dithering), but uses an internal resolution of 32bits, which can have a value of 0 - bloody loads, so consequently, if a value is sent to the soundcard which is higher than the 16-bit domain, it is clipped at the maximum 16 bit value by the dithering process, and comes out looking like a square wave, or distortion. More advanced dithering processes exist which counteract this, but with care, you shouldn't need to worry about this, if you maintain sufficient headroom.

- Clipping is a collision-related that allows a fast-moving object to pass right through another object. The glitch is common in many games, including the Halo Trilogy, and its name is likely derived from the term, "noclip."
- Clipping is a form of audio distortion that occurs when a signal is too high for the equipment it is being fed into, such as loudspeakers.
- Most of the powers in the game have character animation that goes along with them, such as throwing something at an enemy. This animation can take a few seconds to play out. In some cases, it's possible to "clip" the animation, and use a second power or consumable before it ends. Chaining together multiple actions this way is referred to as clipping. Clipping powers can also be done with consumables. Consumables that refill power, debuff, or stun fit well into power clipping for damage.

In some cases, it's possible to "clip" the animation, and use a second power or consumable before it ends. Chaining together multiple actions this way is referred to as clipping. Clipped combinations still use the same amount of power, which means they will burn through a character's power bar significantly faster. In group play that form of clipping can stress the power refill capabilities of controller characters to keep up. Clipping powers can also be done with consumables. Consumables that refill power, debuff, or stun fit well into power clipping for damage.
