Excellent in every way!! In hardly 20 minutes you manage to explain everything that is essential in the matter, and you do it so well! All other videos fade against yours. I think it's just a matter of time until your reputation spreads. Of course you have a new subscriber. Thank you very much and all the best to you!!

By watching these Audio Mountain video's, for the first time I know when to use compression, limiting, clipping, expansion, upward compression and saturation. Awesome!

After so many years doing it, for me I definitely feel like I'm going to a Sound School and actually making my money worth, with a difference that I'm not paying a dime. It's quite incredible. No one that I know on KZfaq that tries to teach all this stuff can come even close. Such a good command of the language as well. You have to know a lot in order to be able to explain it down in a way that anyone can understand fully like this.

Excellent video! Your channel is officially one of my favorite channels for deep understanding in a digestible manner. Keep up the great work Professor!!

These are the best tutorials on KZfaq ☺. You deserve a lot of subscribers which I am sure will happen as viewers catch on.

Love this channel. These videos are really helping me. Thank you 🤘

This guy just exceeds any youtube content ever made! And in terms of helpfulness, usefulness and the vast generosity of sharing information in the most positive and easy to understand way ever known to human kind. You are basically mother Teresa and you are healing ear lepracy. Thanks I wll show rep by liking and commenting all your content! Again thanks bud!

That was a great lesson! 🙂👍 I'm glad I found this channel! I got my qualifications in Audio Engineering from The School of Audio Engineering in 1987, here in Australia (International School, local Studio). I did live work for a while, but it became unworkable with our band's booking schedule. 30 odd years of gigging later, 2021, my daughter bought me an Audio Interface. It's a totally different ball game, I've got so much to learn! The visuals are a great touch. Most times, like now, I come into my 'studio', which is sound treated, but not very sound proof, after the family has gone to bed. So while I have clarity at a very low volume, I can't really test the fine details until later. So often I mix, export the song, with the variations I'm trying to decide on, put them on my phone, and listen in bed and on any other system I can play them on. So, I like visuals. As in the examples, sometimes you can see the problem. Thanks for videos about the basics like this, I would have had worked out all the maths in '87, to be told, twist the knob and see.

Thank you very much for doing a followup and making this video.

Fantastic runthrough of dynamics here. Probably the clearest and easiest to understand the difference between limiters and clippers I've ever watched. Subbed \M/

Class in session. Let's go!

Another excellent tutorial ! Thank you! 👍

Clipping all ya videos mate... Keep on rolling buddy... 🤗🎉🎉

Great info! Thank you!

Many, many thanks🙏 Again very helpful stuff 🙏

omg...my favorite master-bus processor. i have numerous fairly pricey alternatives to choose from but i've been at home with this thing for nearly a decade now. i like it better than Vlad's new Tokyo Dawn Limiter 6 Gentleman's Edition.....though that things is A MONSTER. haha.....good on you for featuring this unique, as well as hard to find, device. i like this GUI much better than the dark blue russian version....btw...just saying.

I have never tried using a clipper and may have to experiment with it.

Fantastic stuff! Clippers and "early-in-the-chain saturation of transients" (the latter from another of the series' videos) are both new concepts to me. When would you use one over the other? Aren't clipping and transient saturating both seeking the same objective?

is it correct that for StudioOne the hard clipping-"Feature/Effect" is in the Bitcrusher stock plugin? Couldn't find anything else.And soft clipping is in the stock Limiter plugin? Or can I achieve hard clipping with the Limiter with Mode B. I'm not sure what Mode B does exactly. The manual only says it might distort.

Clippers confuse me. From my perspective the concept seems so simple. It would seem to be one of the few effects I could probably build myself. A "my first VST" kind of project, with only a gainer probably being less complex (and in case of a hardclipper, not even). Apparently it's not as simple as "if signal greater than limit then signal is limit". When searching for one (a standalone one) there are rankings, few free ones, and some have 128x and even 256x oversampling. Meanwhile the market is completely saturated with compressors, where even free ones rank among the best. So, what's the big deal with these clippers? What's their beneath-the-hood magic?
