Most (not all) modern "loud" masters are in fact clipped.A casualty of the loudness wars sadly. If you push something that hard to get it that loud it's virtually impossible to avoid true peak clipping.
Huge commercial artists.....all clipped.
Trimming will not remove the clipping that is there at source.
I've started browsing second had stores for old pre "new new remastered" CDs as generally the remasters are ruined going for modern volume.
