Plugin Alliance has announced the release of a new audio plugin from Brainworx. Truncating the peaks of waveforms above a set threshold level, bx_clipper allows you to create mixes that playback louder without increasing their peak level. Unlike a limiter, bx_clipper increases loudness while avoiding squashed pumping effects.

Applying bx_clipper to the end of your mastering chain — before or after your limiter — will help you create modern and crystal-clear mixes that feel as dense and loud as the competition. bx_clipper picks up where your limiter leaves off and bridges the gap between loud and ultra-loud.

bx_clipper features

  • Increase loudness by clipping waveform peaks.
  • Choose between soft clipping and hard clipping.
  • Apply smooth and natural clipping using FET mode.
  • Create edgy distortion using Diode mode.
  • Conduct level-matched A/B comparisons with Auto Trim.
  • Audition the information lost from clipping using the Ambience button.
  • Use the full soft-clipping range while avoiding hard-clipping with Auto Ceiling.
  • Process the left-right and mid-side channels independently.
  • Up to 32x oversampling.
  • Peak and waveform meters.
  • Scalable and color customizable user interface.

For a limited time only you get the new bx_clipper for $149.99 USD with code CLIPPER-INTRO-14999 at the checkout (MSRP $249 USD).

The plugin has been added to MEGA and Brainworx Bundles at no extra cost. Owners of selected products can get a discounted price of $99.99 USD by logging into their PA account.
