removing pops and clicks (soft clipping noise)

Hello People,

Recently I've recorded a show as a matrix (sbd+audience microphones).
The soundguy used a digital soundboard Yamaha.
It was an acoustic show.
On the loud parts, there are some clicks and clipping (soft) as it was a vinyl.

How could I remove that ? (remove or attenuate)

Remove clipping distortion through phase cancelling?

I just tried this crazy experiment, and I need help understanding the results.

Here's what I did:

1. I turned up the final output volume in my mastering chain so loud that it created very noticable digital clipping in the loud sections of the song. I exported this song.

2. I then exported a quieter version with no digital clipping.
