I made a few comparisons against some popular clipping plugins, specifically focusing on their hard-clipping modes. Figured I'd share here to help those looking at purchasing a clipper to weigh their options.
But since I don't have a clipper plugin as of now, could I just use 2 limiters? One to only reduce the peaks say by -3db, and the second one for boosting the volume. Or that wouldn't work the same as combining soft clipping with limiting?
