Course description

This week, we welcome back Larry Holcombe to explore the creative and technical use of clipping in music production.

In this session, we break down what’s really happening to your waveforms and transients when a clipper is applied. You’ll learn the difference between soft and hard clipping, and how clipping differs from limiting.

We also dive into how clipping can be used not just to increase perceived loudness, but to shape tone, control dynamics, and add character to your tracks in a deliberate way.

Check it out!
