Sir Audio is my go to.
https://www.siraudiotools.com/StandardCLIP.php

 

not tried but Brainworx has just released bx_clipper https://www.plugin-alliance.com/en/products/bx_clipper.html

 

StandardCLIP or Newfangled Saturate are my go to clippers

 

Like others have said, StandardCLIP is more or less an industry standard. If you want something with more advanced features you could check out Kazrog KClip or LVC-Audio Clipped-MAX.

 

hmm didnt notice this one was out looks interesting thanks guys

 

I second StandardCLIP by SIR Audio Tools.
Another good clipper, or rather an extensive waveshaper with excellent clipping options, is apShaper by apulSoft.

 

I confirm, same for me

 

The glue

 

SIR StandardCLIP or Schwabe GoldClip

 

LOL
This plugin is two soft clippers set in series, and they make a huge deal out of it and call it "golden compression".
There are plenty of reasons why you would want to have two soft clippers in series, don't get me wrong, and the plugin is functional (it takes special talent to fuck up clipping after all), but their marketing is ridiculous.

 

never got into the technical part either of this or other plugins, tbh. it needs to work in my flow and sound right to my tracks. and gold clip sounded really clean on my master and i was able to get out 1 - 1.5db more as with StandardCLIP before it started to crush the master. might get it on a BF deal, or won't. the price tag is just to high, but this probably fits to their whole marketing

 

SIR StandardCLIP are a true go to , i like too Softclip from Apogee for the few harmonics it adds gives a sensation to certain sounds, also ASH from acustica are really interesting

 

Also a Schwabe Gold Clip adopter here. Finally bought it after a5 days trial and as TheRidder pointed, I was able to grind a bit more out of it and get clean result. But very expensive imo.

 

These ones are quite good and free : Venn Audio - Free Clip, Apogee - Soft Limit, Chokehold - Clipmax.

 

What's everyone's opinion on Yum Audio's Crispy Clip?

 

just seen that one on sister site earlier today i don't too much know about that one either

 

I own Kazrog KClip and SIR StandardCLIP, but I mostly use StandardClip now as it is very intuitive to use.

 

There are really too many plugins, I also spend time testing and testing. Of all the things I try, I stick with this. Like everything, what works for one person may not work for another. Everyone has to try and decide what works for them.

For me: Standard CLIP, Newfangled Saturate ,Voxengo.OVC-128 ,Kazrog KClip ,D16 Group Devastor 2, Venn Audio V-Clip, Boz Digital Labs Big Clipper 2, TDR Limiter 6 GE

Apulsoft apShaper it's another you can use as a "clipper" or Invisible Limiter G3 too.

At the end of the tests you realize that you get the same sound with a different plugin. It's just a matter of knowing where to go. You can mess around with 3 limiters or try the same with 20 limiters.

If you like Acustica Audio's: Clipping Mastering ASH or Fire the Clip.

New tested:
plugin alliance bx_clipper. Nothing new. not for me.

 

Apogee Soft clipper is very very good
It was free at start, and I grabbed it

Now it costs 99 but I think that could be available somewhere... https://apogeedigital.com/products/plugins/soft-limit
