Tired of your tracks sounding flat and lifeless? Feeling a bit blah about your beats? REDCLIP is here to change the game. Crafted by the award-winning audio engineer Emrah Celik, this plugin goes way beyond the capabilities of your average clipper. With more options than just smashing peaks, REDCLIP is all about shaping your sound in creative ways and building multiband character into any audio.

Whether you’re mixing, mastering, or just wanting to add serious punch to an individual channel, REDCLIP has the power to transform audio. With this supercharged sound sculpting tool at your fingertips, you can go from subtle enhancement to full-on multiband madness. Loaded with a pro-grade clipping algorithm, this plugin is a true loudness monster… a sonic powerhouse that produces a characterful sound and adds a distinctive character to any track.

Creative Crossovers

REDCLIP’s multiband capabilities is where the clipping magic begins, allowing you to separate your audio into 4 distinct bands before sculpting. Achieve a wider range of sonic possibilities than most other loudness plugins by combining these faders with other powerful onboard features. Unlock the power of precision with the multiband crossover controls of REDCLIP, all user-controllable. Whether you prefer the transparency of linear phase or the classic warmth of analog minimum phase, this plugin gives you the flexibility to personalise your sound. Swap between modes with just one button, and use the frequency adjustment to decide exactly where the bands cross.

Beyond Classic Clipping

The multiband Clip knobs determine how much “classic” clipping will be applied to the signal. Under the hood, these knobs work completely in parallel. Don’t be afraid to turn them up to the max, as the processing is tuned to continue working in parallel even at the highest setting.

Fat & Punchy Sound

Our Fat knobs do exactly what they say – adding serious weight and character to your frequencies. It’s not your average loudness processing; we’ve blended soft and hard clipping for a smooth, controlled distortion. Combine these multiband capabilities with the main clip knob and you’ll hear some seriously rich sound. Next up is Punch – your sound’s personal trainer. These sliders add muscle and definition without sacrificing clarity. We’ve combined compression and harmonic enhancement for a unique process that delivers a stable clip that really smacks. Finally, there’s Bone with sliders that add thickness and body, like strengthening the skeletal structure of your sound. By boosting the midrange before clipping, you’ll hear a more robust sound.

Visual Feedback & Comparison

REDCLIP is built on vector graphics with a resizable interface. A live spectrum is displayed at the top, to help you identify frequency changes. This shows exactly what’s happening to the signal as it travels through the plugin in real time. Accurately monitor your audio at every step of the chain. For those who like to experiment, contrast different processing chains with AB comparison and copy / paste. Use the undo / redo buttons to revert any changes.

Mix & Monitor

Power is nothing without control, so REDCLIP has all the options you need to keep tabs on your sound. For more gentle enhancements, the Dry / Wet knob allows you to mix your creatively clipped signal with the original audio. Use the Bypass and Solo buttons to monitor each of the multiband signals in turn, ensuring that you have full control over what you’re processing and hearing.
