In our music production journey, we're quick to grasp the power of limiters, but there's a secret weapon often left out of the conversation. Clippers. These devices when working in parallel with Limiters, hold the key to achieving loud, punchy masters without sacrificing dynamics or falling victim to the dreaded, squashed sound of overlimting.

This video explains how to use limiters and clippers together to achieve loud masters. However, it's crucial to understand that true loudness is achieved during the mixing stage, not in mastering. Your goal should be to create loud mixes before applying any mastering plugins. The instrumentation and frequency balance of your mix have a greater impact on the loudness you can achieve than the use of clippers and limiters on the master.
