need waveform explanation

[gyandev]

I'm seeing that the upper horizontal line in the waveform view cuts off any volume above above that line. In the past, that line has never done that; louder parts of the waveform go right past it. When I zoom out, I see that the volume is still there in the file. (See linked photo—which doesn't seem to be displaying in this forum—where the zoomed-in view is on top and the zoomed-out view is on the bottom.)

It feels like I'm not understanding something very basic that I've never encountered in my many years of using Amadeus Pro. Would someone please explain it to me? I don't want anything to get cut off. (In case it matters, I do only spoken word, never instruments.)

Thank you.

Not sure I can really help much but I would say that this is not something I am seeing on my system.
Is this happening with all files or just one in particular?
Have you tried the old standby of restarting your System and dose the problem persists afterwards?
If it dose persist;
What hardware and macOS are you on?
Which version of Amadeus are you using?
