KlipFreak by Audio Assault: Full Control Over Peaks and Sonic Density
Managing audio signal peaks is a key aspect of professional music production. Uncontrolled peaks can cause digital clipping, ruining the sound. KlipFreak by Audio Assault is a powerful, specialized plugin designed specifically for effective peak clipping. Audio Assault is known for its high-quality tools, and KlipFreak is no exception. It provides precise control over the dynamic range, allowing you not only to avoid clipping but also to significantly increase the perceived loudness of tracks, adding professional density to them. KlipFreak is a tool that allows you to master the art of peak clipping to achieve a clean, louder, and controlled result.
What is Peak Clipping and How Does KlipFreak Work?
Unlike limiters, which compress the signal, a peak clipper sharply “cuts off” the peaks that exceed the threshold. This process generates harmonics, adding brightness or aggression to the sound. KlipFreak implements a peak clipping mechanism with high precision, minimizing unwanted artifacts while maintaining musicality. This allows you to achieve an impressive level of loudness without exceeding 0 dBFS – critical for modern mastering. The plugin from Audio Assault provides clean and controlled clipping, making it versatile for subtle correction or aggressive sound shaping.
