Soft Clipping

Forums

Anlybody knows goot Soft Clipping VST plugin ?
Because i had some strange peaks in a mix, maybe drumeer hit side of snare, something like this.

and this prervents me from making it LOUD.
i have f**ked pretty much with MB compressor to find this frequency, but it will affect my mix anyway, so Soft Clipping can helt, but i don't have such plugin :(

Chesky "Bonger Tests" clipping

Re track 25 "Bonger Test" on Chesky JD37 audiophile test disc, recorded by Bob Katz:

When played, even at low volume, I can hear distortion (clipping) in the -3 and -13dB tones. When I extract the audio file to my hard drive and examine with an editor, I can clearly SEE the clipping. (FYI, there is no clipping on track 26, the Bonger Test created with "standard A to D.")

Clipping when recording at 24/96k on Delta 1010

Hey everyone,

Started setting things up for our project studio and when running the card through its paces, we found that if we recorded at the 96k sample rate things sounded like they were clipping. All of the sources were not, and when we lowered it down to 24/44.1 everything returned to normal.

Soft Clipping ?

Forums

applying a soft clipping plugin to the master of all tracks sounds
like good idea to me, to prevent any sound from causing distortion.
and when I do apply a soft clipper to the master, it does do this.
but i fear this process is what i would describe as "muffling"
or "dampening" the tracks over-all quality, or frequency range.

Reducing/smoothing digital clipping

Forums

i recorded a set on a MD and a slight digital clipping occured which sounds really clicky and sh*t. it mostly occurs when bassdrumm or bassline is kickin or some heavy mid range action. I checked the waveform and it looks like just plain square type clicking maybe thee is somekind of advanced declicking soft that smoothes these harsh square like clicks. anyone?

Red Book CDR Overs/clipping check software for Mac

I enjoy my trips to mastering houses, (I am having some trouble here in the UK over 24 bit AIFF files) but that aside...

I do however have to make my own Red Book masters for budget clients.

How can I give my CRS a 'once over' before they get sent to the factory? (or my bulk duplicator!)
