Soft Clipper

The Soft Clipper sets a decibel ceiling and clips anything that goes above it, softening the waveform around the peak. The result is harmonic distortion rather than a digital clipping sound.

ControlWhat it does
CeilingThe level (−36 to +36 dB) above which the signal is clipped. Defaults to −0.5 dB.
SoftnessHow gradually the clipping sets in around the ceiling, from 0 (hard) to 1 (very soft). Defaults to 0.2. Sessions from before 2.8 keep the softness they were saved with.
Makeup gainGain after clipping, −36 to +36 dB.
Dry/wetThe mix between the unprocessed and clipped signal.
note

The Clipper and Soft Clipper effects will be merged in a future update.
