I'm trying to write my very first AudioUnit. What are the max and
minimum floating point values for a sample of 16-bit audio?
is the range -1.0 to +1.0?
typically, yes...
But, like real world audio, in a complex signal flow (mixers etc.) this
range can be exceeded, which causes clipping or the musician has a
gain/limiter/compressor in the signal path.
You typically do not clip yourself, say in a filter/EQ plugin. Same as
VST, for example.
