You gave me a 6 year delayed eureka moment in this video. I had seen a producer use Saturators like that before but he didn't explain what it was doing but rather said you should be doing this on each track. Now I understand why he was using it and why I couldn't hear an audible difference when I tried to use it for this before lol. Thanks!

i think the point is: if you already compressed a signal you can then trim off the excess transients with a clipper if the introduction of white noise is okay to you. if you want different harmonic content on overshoots grab a different algorithm, or a different limiting technique, like a zener limiter, a vari-mu, etc. with different harmonic content.

Great content as always, Anthony. I saw this concept via Baphometrix first, and now again through your post. Quick question - is the idea to mix without clipping first - i.e. get the relative track levels to where they’re sounding right - and then go through the clipping exercise, first at individual track level, and then on subsequent busses? That makes the most sense to me, but would love your insights here.

hey @SeedtoStage - I'm wondering if you've ever noticed one interesting thing after applying KClip to the audio channel - it looks like if you cut the low end from the sound (lets say it's hats and you want no low end on them) by applying the equalizer, then apply KClip, then add a spectral analyzer - you'll see the low end there again (though it's looks quiter than before). is there any way to get rid of the low end post-KClip completely?

Really cool video! But I must say that at 15:20 mins I can hear drastic changes in lows and on the punch portion of the Kclip process. Maybe that's because clipping for this purpose (get louder mixes) was not the goal of the Kclip program, I don't know. Maybe heavy low freqs material is not a good choice for a razor-sharp wave format (808s are mostly sine waves, and I'm sure you know that). But I'm still looking for a better solution... I mean, for situations like that, where kicks like this one simply seem to fight against the clipping transparently process... ...maybe something like you've done with that synth, maybe the shape of the kick can be another issue. Who knows?
@johnplacca172 жыл бұрын
Watching this brings up two questions for me as it relates to mixing and mastering. So I understand this is decreasing unwanted headroom. Is there ever scenarios where this is squashing dynamics too much before bus compression or final limiting? Is there generally a range of dynamics you look for when you do this? Curious if anyone has any advice. Im new to audio production but this channel has helped me so much. Appreciate your community and content.
@SeedtoStage2 жыл бұрын
Yeah i would say in most musical genres, clipping isnt really necessary but for electronic music it is much more common. But yes even in electronic music, reducing dynamic range too much makes music lifeless and boring. Most electronic artists make 2 different versions of their music too, one for stage and one for their album releases on streaming platforms

Hi there, why were you clipping after the Hybrid Reverb in your Synth track ? (Labelled 10 Instrument). From what i've understood from the Baphometrix videos, you'd want to do clipping prior to adding any effects in the signal chain. A) Could that have been why you opted to use a Glue Compressor ? Furthermore, was it because the Hybrid Reverb added to the timbre of the synth, that is why you chose to add KClip3 after it ? B) If Hybrid Reverb was influential to the timbre you desired, why not include it inside of the Instrument Rack and blend it in with the dry signal ? Thanks in advance!

Hi there, I've seen a lot of your content about using Saturator to control peaks / balance RMS + Peak by doing the "drive + / output -" trick, very cool stuff! I'm curious, do you know of any plugins that allow for this same result, for when we are working outside of Ableton ? I've checked a few of my saturation plugins and their controls make it a lot less clear how to establish that 'balanced' offset between drive and output. Know of anything that comparable to ableton's awesome Saturator tool, and can be used for this same specific purpose? Thanks!

Can somebody explain what can be different between hard clipping algorithms? It's such a basic operation that I wonder where there is any room for variation. The only thing that comes to mind is different levels of oversampling, but then it's still basically the same thing, just on a higher sample rate.
@SeedtoStage2 жыл бұрын
Youre right, as i understand it, its more the user interface of the plugin, visual feedback, oversampling, but ve also heard that subtle waveshaping occurs on some clippers and Baphometrix says that Eventide's Saturate plugin does "spectral" clipping which can sound a bit different. I dont have experience with that plugin yet.

Really great look at this topic! Thank you! I have a question I feel like you might know a little something about. A lot of times when I'll clip out peaks on sounds, whether its with a saturator or glue compressor soft clip, I'll add an EQ afterwards. For some reason that always reintroduces the peaks I just got done cutting and I have to follow the eq up with another clipper. Any idea? I've tried it with Pro-Q3 and EQ8, and I'm not making any boosts. usually just a high passing out the lows.

A clipper is commonly used at the end of a signal chain because eq works by way of phasing and that can cause a track to increase or decrease in peak value.

Each sound will react differently to clipping. If you’re working with sounds that have a low harmonic content like sine and triangle waves or soft sounds, saturation and clipping can be immediately apparent and undesirable. If you need more out of those kind of sounds, perhaps compression is the ticket.

Let me smash in some point who needs to be recognized: Especially small devices like phone speaker, standard in ears, audio systems in cars are made to sound good up to a specific standard loudness! Now, if you make your master louder than this threshold it will make your mix louder on those devices, BUT it will sound like Crap, cause the speakers cannot handly the loudness! I could easily go louder than standard without having any losses in my mix, but I don't, because I do not pay a crappy wasted sound for more loudness. Just saying...
@esahm373 Жыл бұрын
Lots of mistakes you did there. For example: you could have used a softer clipping curve to process that melody instead of assuming that hard-clipping would be useful. And why do you leave the reverb in the middle of the chain, then go on to compress and clip the reverbed signal? You could have used the revetb to the last position, which sonically makes more sense. Are you a professional?
@SeedtoStage Жыл бұрын
This video you are commenting on is about hard clipping not soft clipping curved saturation. Hence… no soft clipping. Also while it’s common practice to put reverb on a send or at least at the end of a chain, compressing after reverb is in a signal can provide interesting results and be more of an exaggerated effect. What do you think happens when you record drums with mics in a drum room? There is reverb in the room and drum mics almost always get compressed. Compression after reverb is very common. In fact hard compression on drum room mic signals is common practice. With all things audio, there are more ways than one to accomplish things and avoiding formulaic solutions is a generally good idea rather than “always do this or that”. None of what I did on this video was a mistake.
@esahm373 Жыл бұрын
@@SeedtoStage Inaccurate! Compressing reverb tails as an special FX is different from the mistaken compression and saturation you have done due to sub par order of your plugin chain. If you want to compress / saturate reverb for an exaggerated effect, I would advice you to use a separate send / fx channel and apply your saturation directly to the reverbed signal. This way you can focus and fine tune the saturation for the reverb instead of going all over the place and applying it on a semi-reverbed dry and wet signal without focus.
