To be honest, the vocal has been recorded fairly well (besides the clipping obviously). I can not work out why, but there is practically no sibilance on any of the usual culprit letters yet the vocal is still fairly detailed (Or the bugger edited it before he provided me with it!). I guess I have to assume the mic was fairly decent and was recorded with some De-esser hardware... But why you would use a De-esser then not use compression is a mystery to me.

Something else I should point out... The client provided all the audio files in stereo with their original pan positions in place -__-

Spent about two hours just converting most of them to mono and balancing the channels as he has no mono copies! Why the hell would I want a bass guitar in stereo?!

As for the actual clipping, I heard somewhere that samples can be replaced with waveforms e.g. Sine, sqaure etc... Is this true?
