Clipping Drums For Louder Mixes

Use a clipper plugin during mixing or mastering to get your mix loud like the pros. You can also try it out on your drum bus.

Don't teach this to people. Loudness wars killed the dynamic range of every single record made past 2000.

Clipping also provides a nice saturation to whatever it is you’re using it for. Perfect example of saturating something rather than compressing

I've been producing 14 years and your video just taught me something I never knew because I overlooked it all those years - HEADROOM. THANK YOU JERRY. seriously. God bless you and your family.

This is something I had to figure out myself in the past and that no one on YT seems to talk about. I've googled how to stop drums to peak outside the rest of the music for years without good results. Glad someone has finally explained this, even though it's too late for me ;D

[neonsense_edm]

I literally told myself yesterday.. I hope I come across a video that explains this exact thing. You seriously just saved me potentially a lot of time trying to figure it out myself, thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Alpha Master compressor plugin is amazing at this. Turn up the clipper on it then the gain knob and it sounds louder amd punchier but actually drops 3db’s in level

[Bonzvy]

Apply a little bit less on the kick drum (1-2db) and then bus the kick with the 808 together and clip it 2-3db. That is one of the best advice I got in the past years. Mostly the kick will peak that much when it is played with a bass together. And that is only happing cause the kick and the bass are sharing the same freq range in which they are the loudest

[christhescientist]

Perfect explanation, didn’t waste time and got straight to the point, in an easy to understand manner. Brilliant work

Clipping ( when done minimally ) is a game changer when it comes to getting loud without making your limiter fart. You’re getting headroom therefore you sound louder but yet stronger.

clipping, hard limiting, transient shaping, saturation, downsampling, upward compression…all good stuff

You deliver at exactly the right tempo for me, that alone earned a sub

[lunagramrecords]

this is good info. i noticed i have a bad habit of making the kick and snare too loud in mixes because i was producing instrumentals for a while. i was wondering today how to handle this problem. this short alone has given me good insight on how to tackle the problem. thank you

It's visible in the footage, but I want to verbalize for those who don't know here; it is advised to use hard clipping if the intended goal is to bring peaks down without changing the sounds too much. Soft clipping has a more audible distortion, hard clipping tends to be more clear if you don't push it too much.

Bro I’ve been watching so many videos on this but your explanation is so simple and concise!! You’re a god🙏

[eastendmade]

Bro I’ve been producing for years and you just solved my problem

[palmfruit]

v-clip is honestly the best/only clipper you will ever need in my opinion, even the free version is pretty nice

[theAcelebrity]

Another pro-tip : Emphasize transients before clipping. Yes, it will be cut out by clippers anyway. However, emphasizing the transient before clipping preserves a bit more of the attack and energy of the mix.

This is a guy who ACTUALLY knows how to make music.

[KurtFender-jyyr]

the first part he mentioned was what exactly i was doing and what i was having issues with. i tried this and works for me. thanks!

clipping into the limiter was a technique back in the days . Was actually feeding compressor output to the limiter. Still done today of course in the analog domain . The problem is nowadays since everything is digital peaks are a dominating thing that almost nobody pays attention in the recording phase and expects to fix it in the mix.
