Show Notes
Some people say clipping distortion is inaudible, some say it’s the true secret of really “loud” mastering, some say it’s a powerful creative effect, others that it’s the spawn of the devil. So who is right, and why ? In this show we talk about:
* What clipping is, and the difference between the analogue & digital varieties
*When and why we use it
*Whether you can repair clipping damage
*The difference between clipping and limiting
*Why clipping & saturation are NOT the secret of "analogue warmth"
