Integrated Clipper

Clipping Curves

Choose from 7 different clipping algorithms:

Curve	Character
None	Bypass (no clipping)
Hard	Classic digital clipping, aggressive
Cubic	Smooth soft clip, classic algorithm
Hyperbolic Tan	Very smooth, musical saturation
Quintic	Gentle saturation, subtle
Algebraic	Asymptotic approach to limits
Arctangent	Warm, tube-like character

Audio Source → Track Processing → M/S Processor → Clipper → Main Mixer

The clipper sits after all other track processing, giving you:

Safety net — catch peaks before they hit the master bus
Tonal shaping — add subtle saturation or aggressive clipping as a creative effect
Consistency — always available, no plugin loading required

Set the clipper to a soft curve (Hyperbolic Tan or Cubic) to tame transients without drastically changing the sound.

Use harder clipping curves to add grit and edge to drums, bass, or synths.

Push levels into the clipper intentionally to achieve louder perceived volume while keeping peaks under control.
