ClipShifter is a clipping-style limiter that provides enough user controls to be useful in all mixing stages. ClipShifter uses a unique threshold control to change the clipping threshold dynamically based on the transient characteristics of the incoming audio. The sonic characteristics of the clipping distortion can be altered from hard, brickwall-style clipping, to softer saturation with compression. Additional parameters allow the user to control the even- and odd-order components of the saturation.
Version 2 of the plug-in includes a newly-designed GUI with an optimized rendering, an adjustable waveform history viewer, pause and reset buttons on waveform history and a VU loudness output meter. Attack and release times were changed from a linear curve to a logarithmic curve, an Harmonics control allows for even-order harmonics control to output and you can now export current preset to text, and import/load clipboard contents to plugin.
ClipShifter is available in two free and paid ($11.76) versions. The paid version adds 2x, 4x and 8x oversampling and a 3-way multiband frequency control.
