03In depth

Peak Reduction and Harmonic Shaping

The core job of OCELOT Clipper is peak reduction. Its loudness control is designed to lower peaks and manage dynamics without introducing unwanted artifacts. Fuse Audio Labs says the interface keeps attention on the music rather than on complex settings.

The plugin also offers separate knee controls for the positive and negative swings of the signal. This allows tonal shaping of harmonics, which can be used for subtle warmth, a grittier edge, or taming peaks on individual sources.

True peak mode prevents inter-sample peaks, which supports more accurate and transparent peak reduction.

Quality Settings, Latency and Visual Feedback

OCELOT Clipper includes anti-aliasing options, with user-selectable oversampling up to 32x and ADAA processing. Latency is under 1.5 ms, which suits both live use and studio work.

The display shows waveform, distortion and harmonic spectrum in real time, so changes to the knee and threshold settings can be checked visually. It is designed as a companion to the OCELOT Limiter within the same series.
