“The VU Meter plug-in provides the best of both worlds for your signal metering needs: Analog-style VU meters (with clip indicators), and LED-segment-style peak meters. ClipShifter is a wave shaping audio Mastering VST plugin that functions like a clipping-style limiter, and can be used at all mixing stages, from distorting basses and drums to maximizing mix buses and warming up mixes. Clipping style limiter: from transparent sounding compression to hard clipping distortion.

When used carefully, a soft clipper plugin can be a really helpful addition to a mastering chain.

In this video I’m using a clipper to prevent the final limiter from overworking. I compare the free JS Softclipper, T-Racks Classic Clipper and LVC Audio Clipshifter. The differences are subtle but real (no tricks this time hahaha)!
