Default Waveforms clipping but levels not

Just got my brand new 003 rack+ and have started laying down acoustic tracks plugged into the DI and running through the onboard preamps. I am recording at low levels (well below the yellow around -15db) and the sound is not clipping at all, crystal clear no noise. But the waveforms are off the charts indicating clipping. This is making it very difficult to edit the tracks because i have no visual reference. I can't seem to figure this one out its mind boggling.

If anyone has any ideas/suggestions on how to fix this, maybe i am unaware of some sort of calibration that needs to happen before recording, i would very much appreciate it

Thanks

Try adjusting the waveform height - located in the upper left hand corner.

These are the buttons that let you either "stretch" the waveform or change the height.

a quick double click on the Magnifying Glass Tools will reset hight and zoom out to show the top of the session to the last clip or automation breakpoint on the Timeline

very useful
