Oversampled Soft/Hard Clipper Plugin

Voxengo is happy to release OVC-128, a massively-oversampled soft/hard clipping effect plug-in for professional music production applications, available in AAX, AudioUnit, VST and VST3 plug-in formats (including native 64-bit support), for macOS (v10.7 and later), and Windows computers. OVC-128 is a massively-oversampled soft/hard clipping effect plug-in for professional music production applications. A common use for this plug-in is hard-clipping before the final peak limiter. This is an effective approach in contemporary electronic music when loudness is boosted using a clipper plug-in while minor excessive peaks are absorbed by a final peak limiter that applies no additional gain itself.

Clipping the tracks via OVC-128 is practically similar to clipping using high-quality outboard analog gear. At 44.1kHz source sample rate, the internal audio sample rate of OVC-128 is a whopping 5.6 MHz! A perfect combination for contemporary electronic music production is OVC-128 followed by Voxengo Elephant mastering limiter in EL-C mode. This combination produces both energy and smoothness.

Note that OVC-128 is a relatively CPU-demanding effect plug-in, it requires a higher-end processor for comfortable use. Performing 128X-oversampled clipping on a single stereo track is computationally similar to performing simple clipping on 1000 tracks.

OVC-128 features:
– 128X linear-phase oversampling
– Clipping hardness control
– Stereo processing
– 64-bit floating point processing
– Preset manager
– Undo/redo history
– A/B comparisons
– Contextual hint messages
– All sample rates support
– 38 ms compensated processing latency

Version 1.13, 08-sep-2024:
* Fixed an issue with gain knob’s inverse linking.
* Extended input gain down to -3 dB for easier gain staging.
* Made minor codebase optimizations.
* Fixed occasional GUI flickering on macOS (due to usage of Device RGB color-space, now it is sRGB).
* Improved audio-UI interoperability, to reduce a chance of audio stutter happening when UI is active.
