JST-CLIP is still an unparalleled one stop shop for drums. Crazy how loud you can get the drum bus while maintaining clarity and punch.

Everytime a Joey video appears. You know you need to watch that instantly. Love the video.

I usually always put a clipper before the limiter on my master buss and always clip my kick, snare and toms.

My favorite clipper is Newfrangled Audio - Saturate, it has some unique details preservatio, flexible UI with meters, soft-hard clipping morphing, and autogain compensation. :)

Such helpful information, thanks Joey! 🤘

First result in a “clipping vs limiting” search and I wasn’t disappointed. Thanks!

Great Video as always Joey!!!

Happy belated birthday, Joey! Great information as always.

I love jst clip, but I do wish it had a in/out and reduction meters.

I love the T Racks Clipper! Absolutely killer bc you can adjust anywhere from soft clipping to hard clipping!

I'm relatively new to the home production game and working with plugins, but I'm old enough to remember when Joey Sturgis was producing records 15 years ago and getting killer sounds. While I have a lot more to learn, I have learned a lot from the JST videos I've seen so far. Thanks for the tips 🤘

What a great video and what great integrity. Buying your product. I am an old analog guy and it's finally time to start with the digital limiting.

So useful. Thanks

Awesome info man. I just bought a clipper I never thought i would need one since I own every limiter out there but this video really helped.

the attack on Pro-L 2 does not work as many might expect, instead (as per FabFilter's own documentation) “The Attack and Release knobs control how quickly and heavily the release stage sets in. Shorter attack times will allow the release stage to set in sooner; longer release times will cause it to have more effect.” As far as I know, the main difference between a limiter and a compressor (besides ration) is that a Limiter's "attack" is always instantaneous.

To the point and incredibly helpful - much appreciated!!!

Great informative video! Thank you for this!

Great video! Thanks for sharing!

Wow, thank you Joey!!!

Great video. I used to use Limiter + Clipper, but now I`m using Maximiser + Limiter!

Awesome video thanks man.

JST clip also works really well on DI's before the amp sim if the DI is not aggressive enough

I haven't been using them but now I will thank you sir

Great video man, thanks !!

Love the JST Clip for individual instruments and drum bus. T-Racks is always on the master tho. Followed by the Sonnox Limiter and its always plenty loud 😉👍

Wow thank you for the educational video! I know using clippers will elevate my mixes now that I know more about them 🎉

Great advice!

Thank you. This helps solve my problems producing steady double kick drums.

Hey JST , excellent video. This really helps me understand exponentially. Can you do a video on the difference between color and texture in audio?

Been loving KClip 3 lately!

very cool, never really used clippers but now i certainly will

Greaaaaatt video!!!!! Thank you!!!!!

Thanks for the video, cheers from Germany

Thanks, wish I would have researched this long ago.

Thank you.

NICE TIPS !

Helpful!! I currently use the stock clipper and limiter in reaper on alot of things!

That music sample at 8:00 crushes. Reminds me of TBDM. Always love those 2 - 1/16s + 1 - 1/8.

i love you joey

ty JS

maybe your best video :)

I'm using both. My main track gets a D16 Frontier limiter set mostly to get this track's output to stay in a certain range. On my Master Bus, within Studio One, on the insert section is only 2 things, LVC Clipped-MAX and Venomode Maximal 3. The LVC Clipped-MAX has a shifter section nearly identical to ClipShifter. Next is stereo, followed by M Band, and lastly Master. The Maximal 3 is set to brick wall my output. All the meters I've added into the post section to monitor levels.

A rare example of the distorted overcompression being used artistically and tastefully was in "Almost Again" by SYL.

I still think Limiters give a more transparent compression with a more original tone, especially on bass guitar...i prefer a FET Boss LMB-3 bass limiter to most other types of compressors...took a while to get the settings right for whatever i was playing but now i get a great clean bass compressed tone that is very transparent without sounding over compressed...maybe limiters work better on bass...though you have to get the threshold & ratio settings right to get a great bass tone...i guess drums are different to compress compaired to bass guitar...a well done video with good info & examples.....

Great videos! It’s awesome hearing a topic covered by an artist with my favorite “sonic palette.”

While mastering I always use two limiters (first one sometimes in soft limiting mode). What are your thoughts about using 2 limiters vs using clipper followed by limiter in mastering? Pros and cons of each. Thank you for your time and answer

If anyone here is a Reaper user, the built-in saturator and wave-shaping distortion plugs do this kind of thing really well.

The guitars of the master buss session was crazy! can you tell me the name of the music?

using L-316 after ssl comp on the master instead of L-2 but i think i want to use L-2 last in the chain. i cant seem to control L-316 as easily as L-2 when it comes to make the mix loud

About to buy De-Clip 2 any discount Codes Joey and the team? :)

What is that riff at 9:20???? SO good!!

do some of you know a plugin that previews the sound on different speakers, like an iphone speaker?

I may have a problem, I did not notice any difference between the two first clips 😔

I'd love to try the JST version but I'm a cheap bastard so I use the hell out of Gclip. It's free and does a great job on drums n master.

what about clipping a few db and then going into your limiter on the master bus? Maximum loudness and dynamics this way?

FYI the first example with drums A is -11.2 LUFS integrated whereas B is -12 LUFS. It's 0,8 of a difference and to me example A sounds naturally better.

You are god of audio engineering.!!! Please suggest me a free clipped plugin .I'm broke 😤.

Maybe someone could answer this question, I enjoy a punchier louder mix, but I heavily enjoy clarity within the loudness, but how does one go about the LUFS requirements for say KZfaq, Spotify, etc without losing volume?

Just brick wall it until there's not a crack in the wall. Slam it baby. The kids LOVE it

The limiter keeps the parts that go over the clipper removes them. Perception wise

I preferred a)

What is the name of that last song? 🔥

I heard that the algorithm used for hard clipping is basically the same for all clippers. Do you know if this is true?

On vocals limiter, on drums cliper 🎚️🎛️

3:37 you said you would compare brickwall limiting with clippers, but the settings on Pro-L2 were far from brickwall limiting

My dude mains reaper lol boss

Compressors and limiters want to be lazy. Aka use them sparring and use the clippers for power punch and loudness. Baphometrix has a great series on here about Clipping to Zero aka CTZ which gives you a loud mix with lots of punch and impact.

What's the name of the theme u are using

At 05:36: Is it really limiting when adding attack time? I mean, the dynamic range is still the same as the loudest peaks are let through and it is not upwords compression/limiting. Im sure I got someting wrong, but this is confusing... Also, how then is the body of the drums brough up when loudest peak is the same but still a gain reduction?! The resulting signal level should then be the same hotter and quieter quiet parts. Best regards Confusius, the confusted confusion himself :)

Does anyone know the purple plug-in he’s using? That shows the differences in the wave form

But how did it get so messy?

Got to wonder how you achieve that robotic monotone.

so could one clip down into the limiter and then gain up afterwards 🤷🏾‍♂️😩

if Keith from The Try Guys was a music producer :

okay but , why to use a limiter or clipper?

So what you’re saying is I shouldn’t put L1 on every track 😂

but limiter make the hhats n cymbals sound better when not push hard!

I believe there is a technique to turn the PRO L2 into a clipper.

I am sorry but I did not like these examples. Seems like the sound of the instruments will be changed. Which music will have so loud instruments needed.

Not exactly the best music choice for demoing limiters and clippers! Jeez! I get transients are important, but that's not all limiters and clippers do.

Can supposed ‘experts’ please STOP saying the ‘attack’ knob on Pro L2 is used to let more transients through. It’s a BRICK WALL limiter!! The attack knob on Pro L2 is how fast the release begins..!!!! It is NOT a compressor. You CANNOT ‘let more transients through’ a brick wall limiter.

I use both together to bring the best out

i like clipping for a more digitized music but if im doing something more raw i like limiting
