BSAClipper is a two-control clipper plugin from Black Salt Audio, designed for adding loudness in a mix without losing punch. It is available in VST3, AU and AAX formats for Windows and macOS.
BSAClipper is built around a single goal: simple, controllable clipping for mixing. Black Salt Audio designed it with only two controls, an Input knob and a Clipper fader, so you can drive the signal into hard clipping and set the threshold without navigating a complex interface. A Clipped meter shows how much of the signal is being clipped, so you can see the effect as you work. The plugin is offered with a trial.
BSAClipper hard clips the signal once the input crosses the Clipper threshold. The Input knob controls how much signal you drive into the clipper, while the Clipper fader sets the threshold where clipping begins.
The developer describes the plugin as a way to reach modern loudness while keeping the punch and impact of the mix. Because the clipping is applied in the mix, you can shape the level of transients and peaks without a long chain of processors.
The interface has only two controls, which keeps the workflow fast. Turn the Input knob to set how hard the signal is driven into the plugin, then adjust the Clipper fader until the level and character suit the track.
The Clipped meter sits to the right of the threshold and shows, in light blue, the amount of signal being clipped. This gives direct visual feedback on how much clipping is happening at any setting.
