It does clip but that's because I recorded it wonky. As for how I recorded it, I have the FFVII demo disc (it came bundled with Tobal No. 1) and I simply plugged the PS1 audio cables into a tape recorder that had stereo inputs and an audio leveler (because if you plug them straight in without some sort of resistance leveler, you get the sound OVERLOUD). I probably had the level up to high because I wanted to ensure I got it loud enough. According to the file info, I recorded it on:

Shortly thereafter I uploaded it to Audiogalaxy as "FFVII Demo Prologue." I'd never played Final Fantasy until part 7 and couldn't recall if the song was called "Prelude" or "Prologue". So if you came across a 9 minute "Prologue" song floating around on the internet about 6 or 7 years ago and sounded like "The Prelude", now you know who recorded it clippy with a jacked up name, and why.
Oh... and, you're welcome! : )
