    Great tip, clipping has change my life, I get so much head room now and my final compressor and limiters arenā€™t working as hard to contain the snare and kick, legend thankyou!!
  • @motry
    Great man! Following you for a long time now, since I started following you and appying your advices, my producing quality improved like crazy, I even get complimented alot on my mixes in feedback sessions with A&Rs and other producers! šŸ˜µ Thank you so much! <3
  • Nice :), but we have to be careful. Clipping has some side effects called "inter-modulation distortion" (if I'm correct) which are not very obvious at first. But just put a clipper on a hi hat and you will suddenly get sidebands down to 20 Hz. There is no such thing as a free lunch unfortunately :/
  • @yug156
    It sounded better before the clipping imoā€¦ no dynamics left after. Try listen on your phone speaker and you will even hear the difference.
  • @atmodiver
    Thank you very much steaky!It's amazing technic!With respect from Crimea!
  • @StargateMax
    Brilliant information! :D Now my question is, why export those stems for this, why not do it directly on the respective busses?
  • @abletonliveguru
    Isn't this how we've been using saturation (or clipping as well) for decades to achieve the same thing already in the mix? This technique doesn't appear to be new to me, but maybe there are some details in the execution that eludes me here? .
  • @davejohnsonmusic
    If you already use a clipper on individual tracks and busses (as you should), then you really don't need to do this. Maybe just one more subtle clipper on the entire mix before the final limiter.. 2 limiters in series ideally.
  • That's interesting, Streaky. That is precisely why I recommend the Spectra 1964 V610 peak limiters to review. This is exactly how I see them on the (front end) of the mastering chain - which in turn allows the rest of the chain to focus entirely on the content of the mix rather than the in-audible peaks. Give it another go if you have a chance. Spectra very much appreciated your review ages ago. Cheers mate. Thank you for your support and coursework
  • Did y'all take the most important notes in the very beginning?? The magic show happens when he slapped a limiter on all the stems. I heard this before where engineers slap limiters at the end of every FX chain. This builds up loudness
  • @ScottThePisces
    The Pro L2's attack time isn't when the limiter kicks in, it's when the release kicks in. It's weird.
  • Anyone seeing the comments before watching, save your self the time, don't watch. All it's doing is clipping each stem, that approach absolutely impacts the quality of the final mix. It will introduce distortion
  • @theiammike123
    Basically, stem mastering. Really works when it's indeed necessary. šŸ™‚šŸ‘
  • @Jarxiel
    Thank you, 2 questions. Can I just that that without exporting the stems in the different busses? and also can I rather use an actual clipper for the busses? thank you
  • I've always switched to my crappy bass boosted speakers in order to hear distortions in the kick and bass like that but I've never even realised this is how its supposed to be done!
  • @rubenzemog
    Why you dont use a clipper for that purpose? i use Boz Digital Little Clipper, which is extremely simple and sound good to my ears.
