Clipping VS Limiting - How They Sound Different (Hornet Magnus MK2)

Today I talk about the difference between clippers and limiters and provide some audio examples so you can hear the difference. In summary, clippers have a specific sound and limiters have a specific sound. Use your ears and decide whether they are making your mix better or worse. I wish I could give you a 'go-to' setting but the truth is, i don't have one. Listen first, then decide what you need to do. You may not need to do much at all!

The main goal in put both, a clipper and a limiter into the same plugin is just to let us tweak them visibly. AFAIK because the best limiters use to have a hard clipper to attenuate transient peaks first then compress or a soft clipper first then a hard clipper and then a compressor or a hard clipper, a soft clipper, and a compressor. Anyway, the point is, to have a dynamic duo (or trio) working on stages for a better result... BTW, thank you very much! Nice video!
