ClipShifter is a wave-shaping audio plugin that functions as a clipping-style limiter. It offers versatile controls for distortion, compression, and mix bus maximization, providing dynamic processing for any track or overall mix.

  • Pros

    • Adjustable clip shape and harmonic content controls
    • Dynamic threshold responds to transient qualities of the signal
    • Low CPU usage allows for running multiple instances
    • Includes VU, PPM, and loudness meters for visual monitoring
    • Scalable waveform view with click-and-drag threshold editing

  • Cons

    • Multi-band crossover processing requires a paid upgrade
    • Selectable frequency control is a paid feature
    • Oversampling options require a paid upgrade

Developer’s Description

Get a wave-shaping audio plugin for clipping, compressing, distorting.
ClipShifter is a wave-shaping audio plugin that functions like a clipping-style limiter. It provides enough user controls to be useful in all mixing stages: from distorting basses and drums, to maximizing mix busses and warming-up overall mixes. The sonic characteristics of the clipping distortion can be altered from hard, brickwall-style clipping, to softer saturation with compres.ClipShifter can function as a static clipping effect, but it can also respond to the transient qualities of the incoming signal. The threshold for clipping can be set to either rise or fall as the level of audio increases. The speed can be set using the Attack Time control and the Fast Release button. Let the transients through while distorting the rest, or distort that initial bass thump while letting the rest sound clean.Main Features: Clipping style limiter: from transparent sounding compression to hard clipping distortion. Controls for Clip Shape (hard to soft) and harmonics (even- and odd-order), so you can be in control of the sound. Low CPU usage for running multiple instances on multiple tracks. Visual display of signals using VU-style, PPM-style, and loudness meters to easily monitor input and output levels. Scalable waveform history view with click-and-drag editing of threshold controls to easily change and set clipping levels based on the incoming signal. 3-band crossover (paid feature) control utilizing 4th order LR filters for flat crossover response. Selectable frequency control (paid feature) to target the right frequencies for processing. Oversampling (paid feature) at 2X, 4X, and 8X the incoming sample rate for reducing aliasing.
