TL DW The ultimate Airwindows loudness maximizer. ADClip. 7Finally The newest version of Airwindows famous ADClip is out, and its Mac and PC VST for the first time, and its free If you have dense, busy mixes and you want to push their loudness to the max, this is the one you want. Mastering The Requirements Process' title='Mastering The Requirements Process' />And, oddly, if youre mastering for streaming services or i. Tunes and dont want to do a thing besides convey your mix at a set LUFS and intersample peak level, this is still the one you want Heres how it works. Youve got a boost control, a soften control, an enhance control, and a popup or multi function control with three options normal, gain matched, and Clip Only. These are all interactive, so Ill explain them in the context of that mode selector popup. Cs Go Key Generator. In normal mode, boost makes things louder. Mastering The Requirements Process' title='Mastering The Requirements Process' />This is a clipper, and no more polite method can ever make things louder than a clipper you need to either give it a busy and complicated mix to mask the clip artifacts, or use it to snip off non tonal percussive peaks, at which it excels. A clipper does NOT produce limiter like unvarying block of sound, and you shouldnt try to achieve that. A clipper gives you punchy but LOUD, and tries to retain all the dynamics youre feeding it, rather than smooth them out for a clean sound. The soften control manages the way that high frequencies enter and exit the clips.

This is the heart of ADClip also present in my simpler clippers, not counting One Corner Clip, which is still upcoming. The soften control also balances the outputs of two separate energy fill algorithms, one for bass and one for highs. This was the response to a certain other loudness maximizer that launched proclaiming clippers were dead, and which is still promising its version 2 and some bugfixes while ADClip has gone far beyond it. Turned out the secret of that one was an elaborate way of massaging clipped off loudness back into the signal, in a way that was supposed to be transparent but cracked into artifacts when pushed too hard. The algorithms were presumably very sophisticated, which tends to just make the breaking point more obvious when you hit it. The Airwindows version is a completely different, cruder and more direct version of doing the same thing, so when you slam the heck out of ADClip. And you get the softened, analog style clips to add heat and overtones, but you also get a high mids reinforcement that normally just highlights bright transients that would otherwise be lost to the clipping. And the Enhance control lets you go between purely analog clip energy, and these added reinforcements. The gain matched mode has two uses. Devil May Cry 4 Compressed Work here. You could use it to set your slam level in a way guaranteed not to trick you into thinking louder is better it turns the output down, so instead of hearing everything get bigger and louder, you just listen for the point that the clippings adversely affecting the sound. Then you can flip back to normal mode, if thats what you wanted maximum loudness without blatant grunge. Or, you can ignore the slam and use gain matched mode as I demonstrate in the video ADClip. Youleans loudness meter to dial in a specific intersample peak level for i. Tunes or other such picky streaming services. Itll work like padding the output. LUFS wise, ADClip is a far more sophisticated tool than just limiting and then padding the output to get to your true peak target. The last mode is Clip Only, and rather than selecting the various algorithm outputs individually, this version of ADClip gives you them at their respective loudnesses, combined. That means you can engage this mode to hear ONLY the clips, and check that youre not hearing any recognizable scrunch of continuing clippage. But since youre also hearing the enhance outputs, you can adjust softness and enhance level to balance the stuff being introduced to the sound. My recommendation is to set the controls so no one type of artifact predominates its not necessarily great to throw in a bunch of enhance bass just because you can. If youre hearing that much of it that youre tempted to use it as an effect, youre definitely also over slamming your music. So my recommendation in 2. ADClip. 7 in gain matched mode, to keep that true peak measurement within the Mastered For i. Tunes requirements. Im sure not everybody will stick to that, but Im happy to say it is actually quite good for doing that, and if people want to smash stuff with it and enjoy the bass thud, thats their affair. Remember a clipper makes stuff dynamic and punchy, not flattened out use a limiter if you need dynamically flat, or perhaps both. In this modern era of replay gain, Im going to suggest that dynamic and punchy is where its at. Learn the lessons of the LUFS meter Theyre available to us all, now. This work is supported by Patreon.
