Hey Producers



I Have -5dB headroom on master channel, but when i put T Rack Clipper on Drum Buss, then master channel level go above from 0 db...what to do.

 

what does T-Racks Clipper do?

 

It's a simple limiter-clipper (with advanced options). I'm guessing is simple that whatever you're putting on there has a preset or a default setting that raises the volume up (instead of only limiting what you want apparently :P).
Make sure the threshold is at 0.0, otherwise it's increasing volume.

To put it more bluntly, you're obviously doing something wrong, find out where .

 

If you put cheese on your sandwich, you get a cheese sandwich.

 

Try LVC.audio Clipshifter now !!! *yes*
Great sound/fonctionality and great display to see what happen to your waveforms in real time.
For me, it's a must have (from soft clipping to hard clipping dutties)

I agree with Baxter and SirSillySausage, you have to learn what a clipper does: it's basically a waveform shaver

 

I agree with Sardoumichel, LVC ClipShifter is definitely in a class of its own with is x8 oversampling .

Although for me, it doesnt always work well on drums so my other go to Clipper is the Joey Sturgis Cliper.....its a dangerous one !!!

Hope this help

But yeah,

+1 on LVC ClipShifter.....everyone should have a full version installed !!

 

The difference of limiting with clipping mode or just "clipper" may provide more quality than an usual clipping (gaining up on fader etc.). Why "more quality"? usual clipping is clipping, can be more aliasing. Clipper can afford oversampling for less aliasing, intersample distortions.

 

Thank's for the tip
I will try Sturgis Cliper right now, forgot about this one *yes*

IMO clipping doesn' t work for bass or musical material but it's great for snares , prqs and tops, everything with fast transients.
And it can add character to a snare with a pleasing saturation

 

my first thoughts were the extra saturation using Clipper on the bass drum is probably causing some issues here

 

A clipper is a limiter that lets peaks through slightly. You need to turn the output gain down to compensate.
