GOLD CLIP is much more than just another clipper.
Gold Clip Pack is a family of plugins designed to bring loudness, saturation, and energy to your mixes and masters. It includes both a Mastering Clipper and a Track Clipper, powered by the same advanced internal technology. With unique features like Boxtone, the digital tape-style dynamic processor Alchemy, a parallel mixer, and anti-overshoot oversampling, these tools help you craft mixes and masters with loudness and impact.
This is a simple, straightforward way to use GOLD CLIP for mixing and mastering in any genre.
Don't be intimidated. While the internal gain staging of GOLD CLIP is complex, the functionality on the interface is very simple. Once you understand it, you'll be ready to use the plugin in any scenario.
The namesake of GOLD CLIP, this feature is fundamentally different than a traditional compressor. Instead of an attack and release time, Gold performs a sample-by-sample analysis of the input and applies a non-linear gain to the signal.
In medieval times, people believed in "alchemy": a fictional process that could supposedly transform mundane materials into precious gold. Sadly, it doesn't exist...
But in GOLD CLIP, it does :)
You probably already have seen that GOLD CLIP has three unique clipper algorithms: Modern, Classic, and Hard.
Clip Clock is very simple idea, but a powerful tool that is unique to Gold Clip. It does two things.
Box Tone is one of the more subtle processors on GOLD CLIP, but I often find it helpful when I want to smooth out the top end of digital recordings. In effect, Box Tone is a hyper-sonic low-pass filter that cleans up some of the digital ugliness on the very top of a mix.
In my mixing I use a lot of parallel processing. Parallel compression, distortion, modulation, and obviously time-based effects. The benefit of using parallel processing is …
Did you know that GOLD CLIP's meters and waveform display scaling can be magnified?
The default scaling is +6 dBFS -> -36 dBFS, but if you double-click the scale …
Oversampling is a passionate subject for a lot of people, but I believe many spend far too much time thinking about it.
