GOLD CLIP PACK is OUT NOW!

---

We have exciting news for GOLD CLIP users!

To show our appreciation for your support, we're upgrading all Gold Clip users to the new GOLD CLIP PACK!

Gold Clip Pack includes the original Gold Clip that you know and love, plus the FREE add-on plugin, GOLD CLIP track.

PUT SOME GOLD ON IT

We’ve heard from many of you about how you use Gold Clip throughout your mixes, so we created Gold Clip Track to make that process even easier. This simplified version is optimized for track-level use, with a sleek interface that’s easier on your CPU and reduces plugin delay to just 5% of the original Gold Clip.

Now, you can effortlessly insert our renowned clipping and gold saturation on individual tracks in your mix without hesitation. Gold Clip Pack will fit seamlessly into every part of your mixing and mastering workflow, giving your mixes the excitement and loudness they deserve. While the original, more robust version of Gold Clip excels on your master fader, Gold Clip Track is ideal for adding energy and saturation to individual tracks.

At Schwabe Digital, we’re committed to designing tools that enhance the way you work. With Gold Clip Pack, you’ll discover new and inspiring ways to mix and master your music.

If you already own Gold Clip, your Gold Clip Pack license is available in your iLok account right now.

GOLD CLIP 1.3 with ALCHEMY 2 is Now Available

---

Alchemy is a high-frequency dynamic processor intended to soften the harshness that clipping can cause. We designed Alchemy when we originally built Gold Clip, and it sounds excellent, but the mastering engineer in me believes that everything in audio can be improved. So, we made Alchemy 2.

🔹ALCHEMY 2🔹

The idea remains the same, but Alchemy 2 now has a smooth, polished tape-like sound quality. I introduced a smoothing factor, reduced unwanted artifacts, modified the dynamic response, and tweaked the softness of the onset of the effect. I also raised the maximum amount of Alchemy from 1 to 2 dB. I know what some of you are thinking it, but don't worry, Alchemy 2 will recall perfectly in all of your old sessions made with Alchemy 1. We made sure of it.

The below plot shows the EQ curve of Alchemy 2:

When Alchemy is set to 2 dB, the EQ curve above reacts to the clipped signal with the transfer function below.

Alchemy 2 is smooth, polished and tape-like. Give this fascinating new update a try and let me know what you think. 

We made some other updates to Gold Clip as well. 

NEW CEILING NEEDLE 

The new ceiling needle has a bigger numeric display, and is easier to set and read. Additionally, it matches a new Gold Clip companion plugin we are releasing that will be FREE for all Gold Clip owners and Rent-To-Owners. Gold Clip will soon become...

TRIM LINK OFFSET

Trim Link Offset allows you to change the gain relationship between the linked input and output. Set your input and output levels, click the link button and your IO Trim relationship is maintained. 

- Shift-Drag either fader to change the offset.

- Shift-Option-Click a fader, and the offset is reset to 0 dB.

- Or, turn linking off, make an adjustment, and then turn linking back on. 

It is as easy as that. Trim Link Offset is also available in Orange Clip.

SET YOUR OWN DEFAULT PRESET

Create a preset, click the star and the next time you open Gold Clip it will be your default preset*. Star default preset is also available in Orange Clip.

USING ORANGE CLIP & GOLD CLIP TOGETHER

---

A few weeks back, my friend Ken Lewis asked me to make a video about how I use Gold Clip and Orange Clip for his Mixing Night Podcast. I decided to throw that video on my YouTube page and share it with you. 

In the video, I first show how I use GoldClip in a clean and transparent way on a master for a blues song. Then, I use both Orange and Gold Clip together to make an electronic record sound aggressive and over the top.

Take a listen below and let me know what you think.  Hit reply or tag me on my @SchwabeDigital instagram.

ORANGE CLIP 1.1 NOW AVAILABLE

---

We have been working very hard to make major upgrades to both Orange Clip & Gold Clip. Log in to your Schwabe Digital account and download your free Orange Clip update today! Check out the updates below and let us know what you think. Hit reply or tag us in a story on our instagram. 

Anti-Overshoot Oversampling Technology

Gold Clip's unique Anti-Overshoot Oversampling Technology has been added to Orange Clip. While most clippers create overs (output levels above 0.0dBFS) after downsampling, both Orange Clip and Gold Clip keep peaks below 0.0dBFS at all oversampling settings. Clip as much as you want and never go over 0.0 dBFS. 

3X More Efficient

Orange Clip's DSP is now 3X more efficient than it was in the previous version. We combed through the engine and implemented every efficiency we could find. But don't worry, even with all those efficiencies, the sound is exactly the same as it was in previous versions. Freely use the new Orange Clip at any sample rate with less impact on your CPU.

Resizable Interface

Orange Clips interface has been redesigned in vectors, enhancing the interface's clarity and allowing it to be resizable. We also improved the frame-rate of the meters & transfer function. In addition, the updated UI has improved stability on Windows and increased efficiency on both Mac and Windows platforms.

Gain Link Offset for I/O Trims & Parallel Mixer 

We have introduced Offset Linking to the I/O Trims and Parallel Mixer. 

It works like this...

• Click the link button, and the link offset is set. If your input is +1dB, and output is 0dB, then a 1dB offset is maintained as you move the faders.

• Shift-Drag either fader to change the offset.

• Shift-Option-Click a fader, and the offset is reset to 0dB.

• Or, turn linking off, make an adjustment, and then turn linking back on.
