No, just send your data out as is. The [-1, 1] limit only applies for jack when the float audio is converted to whatever bitdepth-integer your soundcard uses. Which is why some people have a post-fader limiter in their master channel in ardour during recording/mix (but not during mixdown/export). You should keep in mind that your app sounds better when it stays within [-1, 1] under normal circumstances. But you don't have to force that. Their wont be any losses when your signals go beyond 1 as long as the audio stays within jack. Have fun, Arnold
