@@audioedges i dont really understand the clipping thing if i use a clipper do i use a limiter after to increase the sound level ? if not why should i even use a clipper , i saw your video on the clipper but still don't understand
@@r0bzmusic777 Good question! If you set a clipping point below zero, any headroom you have between the clipping point and zero is what you can get back for overall volume. You could use a limiter to just get that volume back, for example. If you're clipping at zero or -0.1, then the limiter wouldn't necessarily be needed to get that volume back, since you're already hitting zero. But you could still use a limiter for all sorts of purposes. For example, peak limiting somewhere in your chain. My mastering chains always have a combination of clipping and limiting. Usually with some clipping near the beginning, near the end, and finishing off with a limiter to set my final level. A clipper can often retain the illusion of dynamics moreso than a limiter, which is why it's preferable in some instances. It's a deep topic which deserves a deep dive at some point, every mix is unique! I hope this helps :)
@@audioedges how high do you recommend to master songs to ? i have heard although streraming platforms want -14 lufs its better to master higher than that
Yep! Been doing this recently, really liking the results.
Awesome! Glad to hear :)

Will make some videos on this topic soon!
