CLIPPING IS BAD... Until You Learn How To Use It

[@southhour5241]

Clip to zero is changed my life, no joke.

[@rubenkaiser517]

Huge thanks (again) for sharing all sorts off valuable, helpful information presented in style, like it! As usual I wish you a awesome weekend Zdrewe :)

[@Zdrewe]

And thanks again for taking time to hang out 🙏 all the best bro!!

[@gambetta_]

clipping was said: 16 times clipper: 14 times and clip: 17 times

[@Zdrewe]

😂😂😂😂😂 Not bad tho, i thought there’s gonna be more

[@tastyboi77]

Glad Clip to Zero is getting some wider coverage these days

[@Zdrewe]

I wouldn’t call my video a “coverage” rather a tiny piece of black magic that ctz is 😅

[@tastyboi77]

@Zdrewe trust me. It helps the community actually achieve the loudness they've wanted to for years. Finding Baph's series was the one thing I needed to clean up my mixes/masters and have it trickle down to production choices. Alot of people need a to learn a solid "trick" to have confidence playing with things on their own, i believe CTZ is the only one for gainstaging that actually helps edm/loud music producers make music djs will actually wanna play :p

Dobry filmik, jak i reszta, sporo ciekawej wiedzy i lekkiego sarkazmu, to lubię :) Pozdrawiam.

[@Zdrewe]

Pozdrawiam również miłego kolegę i zdrówka dla całej rodzinki życzę

[@CdCat-ndc]

@@Zdrewe Bardzo dziękuję i również składam życzenia zdrowia, szczególnie w tym okresie .

The only clipper you need is “peakeater”, free, open source, multi platform, light weight, has clipping algorithms and over sampling. Also, let’s just talk about competing high frequency snare and top transients. Clipping is a way to tame them. But adding an attack envelope to make them where they trigger at the same so the loudest parts aren’t summing together does also. As does rearranging your track so they’re not competing in the first place and/or arranged more like how an actual drummer would play the track.

[@4am446]

Idk why but peakeater doesn’t seem to sound that good imo

[@flyoverfredusa]

This is exactly how I do it, works well imho. Nice one D

[@ramonmarks4734]

Valuable as always.

[@Zdrewe]

Appreciate that 🙏🙏

[@christianvoithenleitner5923]

Really helpful, thx Zdrewe

[@Zdrewe]

Glad to hear that! I highly recommend watching Baphy videos to dive deeper into it 😉

[@christianvoithenleitner5923]

@@Zdreweis there a good free oscilloscope to use? The visualization of the oscilloscope mega scope is nice but 70€ … 😅

[@Zdrewe]

@ Blue Cat and ocularScope are ok. If you have ShaperBox then the built in one is great too. Mega Scope price sucks but I wanted to get it for quite some time now to have a clear visual for tutorials. I can call it an investment but still 😅.

[@javibmoreno]

thanks for this bro 👌👌

[@seanhochman]

Man, I have had newfangled saturate for a while now and have not been using it to its full potential at all

[@Zdrewe]

It’s really a goated and underpriced plugin for what it can do. I don’t do as many tweaks tho since I saved my go to settings as default and tweak them just by driving with input or drive. Another godsend from them is elevate which also sells for cheap but does more than any limiter I used

[@AceOfficial]

I don't get what's being explained in this video, summed up in one sentence clip to zero just means: don't clip only on the master but on every channel first and then on the master? Did I understand correctly or do I miss something ...

[@Zdrewe]

Basically yes although the point here is do do this gently enough to not destroy the sound. Clipping is only the last part here, before you need to take care of your sounds and ideally lower the crest factor by saturating or compressing from the bottom

[@AceOfficial]

@ got it, thx!

[@alexkid1]

Isn't this the same as compressing? Sry for dumb questions 😅

[@Zdrewe]

@@alexkid1 no worries! Compression shapes transients and threshold is not the “definitive barrier” above which no sound is present. Clipping simply cuts them out as the sound reaches the ceiling (or threshold). As you can see, Clipper also has no attack and release. There’s a similarity of reducing crest factor but do do this with compression you need to go for parallel (or NY) which completely squashes and changes the sound

[@bigheartsmolpen]

Nu

[@alexkid1]

​@@ZdreweThanks for the explanation brother!

[@PALLSTAKANA]

how u have freq on top of ableton?

[@Zdrewe]

It’s MiniMeters 😉

[@PALLSTAKANA]

@Zdrewe thanks 🥺

[@ChrisAngel87]

I’m confused. What is the clip to zero method?

[@ghfjfghjasdfasdf]

@ 10:00 sounds good to me 🤟

[@azomyte]

Shout out to limiters for tonal elements

[@Zdrewe]

Limiters are great don’t get me wrong but as you said, tonal elements can benefit from them due to shaping attack and release. Drums too but it’s way easier to F things up

[@southhour5241]

Limiters are great on vocals or individual instruments especially pads or chordal stuff outside of that hard clipping is my go to.

[@beatmeater5225]

Kclip3 is very good. The Baphometix guide is extremely detailed. Too detailed , too much talking. About 20 videos and from memory some are 60 minutes long but could have been 15 minutes long. Baphometrix liked to talk.

[@Zdrewe]

Well…. Hard to not agree. I watched some of them on 1.5x or 2x speed (don’t recommend it for my videos tho 😂)

[@VentureNW]

I am a fan of KClip 3

[@Zdrewe]

I wasn’t quite convinced while using 2 but 3 is great especially after latest updates

[@southhour5241]

Really nice free clipper is called "peak eater" it's fire.

KClip zero is very CPU hungry
