"diagonal clipping" in recent pop music productions?
This is just a limited (or clipped through distortion) sound wave added through the normal mixing process, to a lower frequency soundwave.
I've created a simple example to demonstrate what I mean. ...

"diagonal clipping" in recent pop music productions?
You will note that this emulates the effect of a DC blocking capacitor, in a record player on clipped vinyl... i.e. no 0Hz being passed. This waveform's clipping slopes exclusively the same way, ...

How to deal with clipping in important data
First of all, let's examine what happens when a signal clips: An audio signal can be represented by a string of numbers, so let's say you wan't to record this signal:
0 0.5 1.0 1.2 1.0 0.5 ...

Troubleshooting clipping
Those are not extra sweeps or clipping.
There is really no way to produce a pure sine wave out of a speaker so those extra lines are harmonics being produced by the speaker. Check out this PDF pg.8,12 ...

How can WAV files cause any clipping red in DAW meters if floating point can represent much higher values than 24 bit?
0dBFS in floating format is a bit of a misnomer. It's not "full scale" in floating point, instead it's actually defined as the value 1. This is the value that when converted to fixed point ...

How can WAV files cause any clipping red in DAW meters if floating point can represent much higher values than 24 bit?
Building on Tetsujin and ZaellixA responses:
If your wav isn't itself clipped, its encoding (if samples are floating points or are integer numbers, it's bit depth...) may be missing or wrong in the ...

How come floating point audio doesn't clip?
See this and scroll down to "Converting and Using Floating Point Samples".
One good reason to convert integer samples to floating point samples in [-1,1] is so that you can mix bit-depths of integer ...

How to deal with clipping in important data
I would suggest that if the audio data is to be used in a research project in which having not clipped audio data is of some importance, you should start again.
Although you might use some tools to ...

Is lossy encoding supposed to produce higher signal level peaks than those present in the original?
Yes, certain compression formats can result in higher peak levels than the same material pre-compression. -1dBTP ("true peak" level, relative to full scale) seems to be the accepted maximum safe level ...

Make do with safety channel feature
Simply use the non-clipping right channel. It will have sligthly more noise but no clipping compared to the left channel.

How can WAV files cause any clipping red in DAW meters if floating point can represent much higher values than 24 bit?
As Tetsujin states in their comment, any decently developed/implemented DAW will use floating-point arithmetics to increase their internal calculations headroom.
This does not mean, in any case, that ...

How can WAV files cause any clipping red in DAW meters if floating point can represent much higher values than 24 bit?
Usually, 0dBFS is the maximum level which doesn’t clip on an audio interface. A DAW will typically map it under the maximum float level, then if you increase its level in a filter then reduce it ...

Is my USB Audio Interface limited to recording at only ±0.5 db?
Yes, the picture shows a heavily clipped signal. Decrease the input level until you never clip. Typical recommendation is to aim for around -10dB full scale when capturing input and to record at 24bit....

How to deal with clipping/distortion in a custom synth app
You have to consider exactly how much headroom you have available to you in a 32-bit or 64-bit float scenario. The answer is - masses! You should be doing your mixing at 64-bit level these days in a ...
