The Mastering Show #96 - Flippin' Clippin' !

We’ve been using “soft clipping" in mastering for over 20 years at this point, but it suddenly feels as if it’s all anyone is talking about ! New plugins, new suggestions about how to use it, and wild new claims about how amazing it sounds.

Except it doesn’t.

At least – not all the time, and not for all material.

In this episode Joe Caithness and I dig deep into the details and talk about:


* What clipping is, and what it isn’t

* The crucial differences between hard and soft clipping

* What makes a great clipping plugin (and why comparing them is a nightmare)

* Some of our favourite clipping plugins and how we use them

* The kinds of material that work best with clipping, and what type to use

* The golden rule to follow if you want to experiment with clipping yourself
