1. Effect: The sound is louder, the vocals are clear
2. Problem: The electronic part is too **distorted** (all my devices don’t add sound or this device uses Dolby sound), and “Burn It All Down” is also **distorted** during the climax

###### Hope it can be optimized

Hi,  
Have you tried lowering the bass?  
Most of the times when clipping occurs, it’s due to excessive bass.  
And here’s one more friendly tip.  
Your system has multiple Volume sliders: one in Windows, one in Spotify, one in VLC, etc.  
**Never** set **any** Volume slider to 100% (or beyond!).  
Keep all sliders at 85% max at all times, to further avoid clipping.
