What’s the Difference Between GOLD CLIP and ORANGE CLIP?
GOLD CLIP is a clean, high-precision mastering tool that uses its unique loudness technology called Gold and Alchemy to create exceptionally smooth and loud masters. It sounds lush, expensive, bold, and gives recordings the last 5% of detail we all strive for. It emulates a well-known golden mastering device used on thousands of hit records, and builds on that distinctive dynamic process with advanced anti-derivative, anti-aliasing oversampling technology.
ORANGE CLIP is a loud and aggressive production & mixing clipper that emulates the sound of a legendary DAW for music production. It can be driven hard for added bite or used subtly for warmth and character. It is a color box, enhancing lows, smoothing the mids, and flattening the high end in a unique and pleasing way. While not transparent, it is a familiar tone we have all grown to know and love. With minimal CPU usage and 0 samples of delay, it’s easy to incorporate Orange Clip into your production workflow.
Should I use ORANGE CLIP and GOLD CLIP together?
YES, there are no rules and each clipper has its unique and distinctive sound.
GOLD CLIP is often used to maintain clarity, increase perceived loudness, energy and detail of the whole mix or grouped instruments.
ORANGE CLIP is often used to provide aggression, color, character, and to shape transients of individual or grouped instruments in a mix.
