What Classic T-RackS Clipper does
Its controls can be set to prevent digital overs while keeping a pleasing result, and the developer also points to it as a way to add boldness and presence to tracks that sound cold or sterile. The plugin is available as VST3, VST2, AU and AAX for Windows and macOS (64-bit), with macOS 10.15 as the minimum system and 4 GB of RAM listed.
Key features
- Last-stage dynamic control. Placed at the end of a chain, the clipper works as a final dynamic control on the signal.
- Presence and boldness. The developer suggests it can bring more life and presence to cold or sterile tracks.
- Dynamically uneven sources. Snare and bass tracks that are weak or inconsistent in level are cited as good candidates for the processor.
- Amount of distortion. Excess clipping can add too much distortion, which the developer notes is hard to blend into a mix, so settings should stay moderate.
Compatibility
The plugin is listed for VST3, VST2, AU and AAX on Windows and macOS (64-bit), with macOS 10.15 as the minimum system and 4 GB of RAM.
