ORANGE CLIP is inspired by the unique stock clipper found in one of the most legendary digital audio workstations for modern music production. The clipper itself is simple, but it has a bold and unique sound that you have heard in many modern productions.
ORANGE CLIP is a simple tool that might not even need a manual. There is essentially one knob that affects the sound, ORANGE. And it is right there in the center of the plugin.
In the last post I spoke a bit about why I built ORANGE CLIP, its sound, and some basics about its functionality.
In the last post we spoke a little about how transfer functions and wave shapers work. Today we will dig in a little deeper into how wave shapers like ORANGE CLIP work.
The ORANGE setting determines the size and shape of the wave shaping applied to the track. You can consider it a threshold on a compressor. It is the level at which the signal starts to wave shape or compress.
The ceiling control floats over the input meter, allowing you to clip extremely low-level signals without changing the input trims.
In the last email we talked about some metering and user controls of ORANGE CLIP. Today we will discuss the power of the the true parallel mixer.
Today we will dig into the basics behind the oversampling in ORANGE CLIP. We spent months getting the wave shaping in ORANGE CLIP just right, and then added all of the oversampling functionality of GOLD CLIP.
We spent an endless amount of time trying to determine the exact mathematical equation that makes ORANGE CLIP sound so good, and that equation matches its inspiration in every detail: dynamically, harmonically, and sonically.
