apulsoft apshaper is my go to for mastering because you have all the controll to clip how you like. Often I like to clip also a little bit asymetrical because it give it that warm sound

Thanks. Interesting. Can you do something, address, what you do for gain staging a session? I think you mention it in a past video but wasn’t subsequently focused on.
