Big Clipper combines a variable clipping algorithm and limiter that gives you the ability to control peaks and increase loudness transparently.

Enabling you to make tracks louder, compression and reverb sound more natural, and overall mixes more cohesive.

Big Clipper is what you get when you take a clipper and inject it with growth hormones, and then add a little extra MSG on top. Clipping is a great way to transparently control the peaks of your tracks. When done subtly, clipping will make compressors and reverb sound more natural down the line, and give your mix an overall cohesive feel.

But clippers have one glaring issue: They really fall apart when you push them too hard. There seems to be a very thin line between adding cohesion and breaking apart into a distorted mess.

That’s where Big Clipper comes in.

Big Clipper gives you the controls to be able to push it hard without breaking apart. Whether you need subtle clipping or heavy overdrive, Big Clipper handles it with ease.

Big Clipper—Just the Facts:

• Combines variable clipping and limiting
• Shape lets you adjust between hard and soft clipping
• Four blend modes control how the limiter and clipper are blended together
• Three-band frequency sensitivity controls how the clipper/limiter responds to different parts of the frequency spectrum
• Toolbar with presets and save, A/B comparison, selectable stereo, and mid-side operation, wet/dry mix, and bypass
