However, the better clipping happens when your mix has a good frecuency balance (lets say, u dont have 6 db+ at 60 hz and 10 db at 5 hz  )
Just try to put a L2 on your mix and see how all the transients go away |
The L2 doesn't do just limiting, it's much more complex. Clipping your converters means cutting the top the waveform which is exactly what brick wall limiters do. There are plugins that do this job at stupid prices (even 50-60 $) like the voxengo elephant and sound smoother that just clipping your AD. Don't assume that overloading you converter is the only way to go
