If you have a recorded peace and you increase the volume of it to a certain level or copy and mix paste over itself it will clip because you are exceeding its clipping range. In all my music I always have a lead and rhyme guitar mixed. They don't clip because they're both playing different notes or the same notes in different pitches. But on some parts of my songs the lead and the rhyme play the exact same thing. I said when both guitars play the same thing why don't I just copy the lead guitar part and mix paste it over itself. I tried that and it clipped. Than I decided to just stick to recording them separately like what I was originally doing. When I record them separately I use the same guitar, amplifier and same mic but I use different pedal sounds to make them both have different sounds pitches and frequencies. If I do that it won't clip because the different pedal sounds give them different sound frequencies and pitches? I use the same amp but different pedal sounds. If I use the amp with no pedal and record the same exact guitar parts with the same amp sound it will clip. But if I use different pedals sounds with the same amp and play the exact same guitar parts it won’t clip because the pedal changes the sound frequencies as a whole? So that means I can mix paste the same guitar parts as many as I want by recording them separately and changing their pedal sounds each time? Than that means if I use different guitars or different amplifiers or different mics for recording each guitar part for playing the same part than that will not clip because you change the frequencies ranges and pitches? I was always pondering about this and no one ever answered my question about it.

I think what would help your problem is if you applied some compression to the mix, so it won't clip

Are you using a recording program? cuz if you are...just turn the volume down on the two. Whenever you put the same sound on the same sound it increases the volume, just turn it down and it will sound just as fine, there shouldnt be any loss of "volume" persay but you wont get any clip and it should sound just as full.

I dont even put a second guitar part to the parts where we play the same thing I just mix it well and it sounds just as full.
