You’ll be amazed at how this technique can elevate your mixes in numerous ways, especially if you’ve always avoided clipping (as instructed when you started recording) and never experimented with the idea. This course covers everything from adding grit and saturation to an instrument to preventing the need for over-limiting on your master bus, among other useful tips. By the end of the course, you’ll be ready to begin using these techniques right away on your very next production. These mixing videos are for those who are new to the topic of intentional audio clipping. After welcoming you to the course, Thomas begins by showing how clipping can be used on electronic drums to add saturation and increase energy. This can really help bring a stale drum beat to life. Next, you’ll learn how to apply clipping to acoustic drums, primarily for taming peaks rather than saturation.
