Congratulations on producing a video that actually explains something in a way anyone could understand and doesn't assume everyone watching is an expert, many video tutorial producers literally have no clue of their target audience or just want people to play something over and over again for exaggerated statistics which a lot obviously do. Thanks
For quite sometime I did not get what a clipper did. Mystery solved! Finally, a clear explanation! The background track at the end is the cherry on top. Good one.
I can’t believe how great you are at tutorials/teaching. Glad I found you. I’ll be watching and sending many new engineers here. Wish I had you when I started 15 years ago!
You can clip Peaks to about 7ms~10ms range of the time interval of said Peaks. More than that they become audible. You should clip individual instruments (if possible from separate mics\sources) rather than submixes and whole mixes, because submixes and full mixes will have more wide\fat peaks and when you clip them you will cross the 7ms interval much sooner. Combined with saturator\tape-emulator clippers are really handy tools. Back in the analogue era when tracking ecording\submixing all got recorded to tape clipping, gentle compressoring and even subtle EQ happened "for free" just by pushing the recording level on tape due to the disadvantages of signal to noise ratio - the main reason for gain staging. Today we need to emulate such behaviour by using VST plugins (if working only "in the box\PC").
Just so you know, the "link" parameter in Kclip is not a stereo link, it's a in and out link. So it would save you time to use it because, you were basically doing what the link button was doing, but manually. Cool video btw !
Another great video in terms we can all understand I'm a studio one pro user and have just downloaded ZL eq after o saw your tutorial on that software Keep up the cracking work
Would you use a clipper on instruments, perhaps an acoustic guitar with heavy transients? I'm assuming clipping is best for percussive/heavy transient sounds.
Good stuff and very helpful knowledge as usual! Thank you! Please, I would like to have your opinion about a free plugin which seems to do the same thing. It is called peakeater. Is it a clipper also, according to you? Thank you!
I prefer standard clip because it actually shows a "clipping line" showing in red how much do you exceed that line instead of showing just the gain reduction. I know it's basically the same but it's more intuitive to me.
I'm guessing it's because Kclip is available to everyone, while Studio One is only available to Studio one? Easier tutorial to reach more people. I'm just guessing tho
Good stuff! Thank you AM! Same process for cymbals as well? Times I've come across cymbal samples that a limiter doesn't seem to touch.. never used a clipper yet so I'll definitely be trying this one out.. Thank you 🙏🕊️ any advice re saturation and clippers? Ie before or after each other? (Thanks again 👍) 😉
This is the best video on TH-cam regarding using a Clipper.
Thanks!
The Kazrog clipper is bloody amazing! I brought the clipper 1 week after getting the free version

That's great to hear! Thank you!
Everytime I get notified with your videos, it an automatic Like
That's awesome, thanks!

I’ve watched many clipper vids and none nearly as clear and easy to understand as this one. Thank you!
Thanks! Good to hear!
I’ve seen clippers in my daw before but I wasn’t sure what they did or how to use them so thanks for bringing this to me attention
Great explanation. I finally understand how and when to use a clipper. Thanks.
Welcome!
Superb tutorial. Just brilliant.many thanks.
You explained in one minute the reasons to use and when to use clipper vs limiter.
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Broooo. Dude you ROCK!!! Most I’ve learned from a vid in some time. Your voice is perfect articulation spot on. Thank you thank you
Thanks, glad you liked it!
This is the best information video I have seen in awhile
Great! Thanks!

Thank you! I hope everyone sees this!
great video!
Great tutorial! 🤘
Masterful stuff, thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Another great video in terms we can all understand
I'm a studio one pro user and have just downloaded ZL eq after o saw your tutorial on that software
Keep up the cracking work
Great! Thanks!
Excellent explanation and demonstration of a super clipper. Thank you!
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Great explanation
Thanks! Glad it was helpful!
He’s back!!!
cheers just downloading it, ill give clipping a try and see how I get on with it in my drums
Thanks for the great information.
Nice snare
Great work. Thanks for uploading, and sharing. 👁️👁️
Supernice video, thanks!
Thank you too!
Great explanation. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Just wonderful! Thank you!
Thank you!
Keep up the videos .
I'll keep them coming! Thanks

Thanks. Subscribed
Welcome aboard! Glad you liked it!
I wonder if a clipper would work on a vocal track that has heavy plosives, hard "kuh" sounds and sibilant "sss"es.
It would, but it may cause more unwanted distortion than a limiter.
Thanks!!!!!!!
Welcome!

Hi, is there a reason why you didn't use the Studio One clipper?
I'm guessing it's because Kclip is available to everyone, while Studio One is only available to Studio one? Easier tutorial to reach more people. I'm just guessing tho
Yeah, just wanted to share my favorite free clipper for everyone. Hi Marco! Nice to see you!

Thanks Owl - great question! I'll give you a breakdown on the next Q & A over on Patreon.
Awesome! Thank you 🙏🕊️😎@@AudioMountain777
Venn audio has a good 0$ one too.
Great tutorial thanks.....your voice reminds me of somebody I've heard on a Frank Zappa album?
im lookin at 7.6 db of clipping thats barely touching the transients
This is great audio learning information but whoa pause on the hard and soft my guy sheesh
A clipper is just a limiter that has a harder knee with shorter attack and delay.
Yes and no.
Wouldent it be easyer to get these things in the engineering stages? But I see your point here....
