To those so totally appalled by the thought of clipping great converters for level, who of you have tried it? I think a lot of the disgust comes from the theory of it, without knowing what it really sounds like.


I clip my Aurora converters too for level when I master. I've tried every limiter available for mac, and absolutely hands down clipping is the most transparent way of getting level I've found. I don't go for super hot, around -13 rms or so, but even with modest reduction all limiters sound god awful to me while clipping sounds more than acceptable.
