Clipped peak restoration is part of a Sound Forge plug-in called Noise Reduction, which does not come with the basic Sound Forge software, so you need to get that separately.  It works pretty good too, I've saved some recordings that I ran the levels too hot, and it tames the clipped peaks nicely.

I just recorded an intimate concert, but got some clipping  :'(

I used "mic-in" to plug my SP-BMC-12 and Battery-Box (set at 69Hz).
But the MD preamp couldn't afford the sound, even if it wasn't that low.

The volume indicator don't even reach the -12dB peak, but the sound is distorded  :-[

What is the best I could do to restore my tape; because appart from that, the sound quality is just stellar!!!

Sounds like "brickwalling" not clipping.....don't think there is much you can do to fix that after the fact. :-\
