Scratching sound in Samplitude X5 Pro

Hi there... Again :)

I have tiny problem during playback, and export.
When some of my instruments is playing at a high volume, it makes a scracthing sound, like there is a feedback, or simulating a loudspeaker that cant handle the volume.

I have noticed this happens as soon as the master eq go in to the red.
Problems is, when i export, it also exports the scratching sound. And if i turn down the master volume, so that the scratching sound disappears, the exportet sound is very very low.

Is there a way to deactivate this effect. I have added a screendump, and a sample.

@Jesnie Yes, if you go above 0 db you get clipping. This means the peaks of your audio signal get chopped of which causes this unpleasent sound.

You can put a limiter effect on your master, for example the essentialFX Limiter and this will prevent your signal from going over 0 db.

I gave it a go, and Yo ho, the clipping sound is gone. Thank you :)
