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 Full show notes and links on our website: Mentioned in this episode: Learn to master !
