Hi, does anyone have suggestions for VST's that do radical cut off for the tops? I have a M-class maximizer in Reason that does that with it's soft clip on and it's good for cerrtain tasks, but I'm looking for an alternative that has a harder/more radical sound. A clipper that has a harder sound in a nutshell.

Cheers!

Kazrog KClip3 or (the more "boutique" thing) Schwabe Orange Clip.

Harder than a hard clipper? Wavefolding, perhaps. Melda has a free one.

Currently arturia has a very good sell with a lot of FX.
Part of the pack is a vst called peak. Does clipper and peak limiter in the same plugin which is handy as both are often working together.

Also you got in same pack coldfire a distortion plugin which will wavefold the f**k out of your sound.

Speaking of...

Can anyone tell me what the big deal with Orange Clip and Gold Clip are? I'd never heard of them till like 3 weeks ago and now they're everywhere, and every sound engineer since Alexander Graham Bell is giving testimonials on their page.

I haven't demoed but it's hard for me to imagine any clipper being worth 5x KClip

+1 for gClip

also, maybe some kind of customizeable bit reducer could work too.
or a full wave rectifier?
naw, scratch that... +4 for Misstortion... I just now saw that. LOL

Lately, I've been using clips from Sixth Sample mostly, tho I have others, STD, Kclip, Knock, BSA Clip etc...

*A lot of them use exactly the same clipping algorithm apparently, likely it matters very little
which one you use...

Here’s a couple that I’m using: BX Clipper, Yum-Audio’s Crispy Clip and The Grater.

Radical tops off cutter/clipper - suggestions?
