About

Blue Clipper

Features
Read full description

Converter-style clipping and saturation for louder, denser, more controlled mixes. Blue Clipper is modeled on the Lavry Blue 4496*, capturing the character of its saturation and clipping behavior in a simple, modern plug-in format It is designed to add density, control peaks, and increase perceived loudness while keeping the sound focused, musical, and mix-ready. ANALOG SATURATION Analog Saturation gently softens transient peaks before they hit the clipper, adding density and level control while keeping the sound natural and musical. Perfect for drums, bass, vocals, buses, and full mixes when you want extra loudness without obvious distortion. DIGITAL SATURATION Digital Saturation drives the signal into a stronger saturation curve, adding harmonic color, firmness, and perceived loudness. Use it when you want drums to hit harder, bass to feel thicker, synths and guitars to cut through, or a mix to sound more pushed and energetic. Works as a standalone app, AudioUnit v3 effect, or Inter-App Audio effect *Legal Disclaimer Lavry, Lavry Blue, and any related product names, logos, or trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
