Loudness Without Compromise

Unlike a limiter that reshapes your entire waveform, a clipper shears off only the inaudible transient peaks — the energy your ear can't resolve. The result: 2-4 dB of additional loudness that sounds completely free. Your masters hit harder, feel denser, and compete on any playlist without sacrificing dynamics or clarity.

  • Masters that compete on Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube
  • Drums hit harder with denser, more impactful weight
  • Full-frequency density without squashing dynamics
  • The secret weapon of competitive mastering engineers worldwide

Sounds Analog, Even Driven Hard

Most digital clippers introduce harsh aliasing artifacts when pushed. Clipper GX combines ADAA anti-aliasing with 2x FIR oversampling for a hybrid architecture that stays warm and musical at any drive level. Push it as hard as you need — the character stays analog, the output stays pristine.

  • Warm, analog-like character even at aggressive settings
  • Hybrid ADAA + FIR architecture eliminates digital harshness
  • 127-tap linear-phase decimation for surgical precision
  • Soft and hard clip curves for different flavors of density

The Missing Link in Your Chain

Clipper GX sits before your limiter to remove transient peaks before they trigger gain reduction. The limiter then works less, pumps less, and sounds more transparent. It's the technique top mastering engineers use to achieve competitive loudness without the crushed, over-limited sound.

  • Before your limiter: Remove peaks so the limiter barely works
  • On the mix bus: Tame transient peaks for a denser, tighter mix
  • On drums: Clip snare peaks for aggressive, punchy drum sound
  • On broadcast: Maximize density before the FM chain or podcast limiter
