Clipping has always been frowned upon in audio production. Today, we investigate an interesting method of mastering in Ableton by clipping our master instead of using a traditional limiter. This has become more and more popular with artists recently, and though unorthodox by traditional audio engineering, the results were shocking to me.

We compare Fab Filter Pro L, Izotope Ozone Maximizer 9, Newfangled Audio Elevate, the Ableton stock limiter, and Clipping the master buss in this video.
