bx_clipper is designed to elevate your mastering process by increasing loudness while preserving clarity. Instead of relying on traditional limiting techniques, it clips waveform peaks that exceed a set threshold, allowing for louder mixes without the unwanted pumping effects commonly associated with limiting. This approach helps maintain the integrity of your audio, delivering masters that stand out with punch and presence.

Placed at the end of your mastering chain, bx_clipper works seamlessly alongside your limiter to bridge the gap between loud and ultra-loud results. It offers two clipping modes: FET for smooth, natural clipping and Diode for a more aggressive, distorted character. Adjustable controls like Ceiling and Knee allow you to tailor the clipping effect to suit your desired sound, while Auto Ceiling and Auto Trim features optimize loudness and ensure level-matched comparisons for precise mastering decisions.

With advanced stereo options including dual-mono and mid/side processing, bx_clipper provides precise control over the spatial elements of your mix. Its combination of analog-inspired circuitry and digital tools, such as an Ambience button to audition clipped audio and a Wet knob for adding over-fold distortion, offers a powerful platform for shaping unique, loud masters with warmth and clarity. The user interface is customizable and scalable, making bx_clipper both intuitive and adaptable to different workflows.
