Groove3 Creative Mixing with Clipping Explained TUTORiAL

Join mixing wizard Thomas Cochran for a fun, exciting tutorial series on using clipping in various creative ways. You'll be amazed at how this technique can elevate your mixes in numerous ways, especially if you've always avoided clipping (as instructed when you started recording) and never experimented with the idea. This course covers everything from adding grit and saturation to an instrument to preventing the need for over-limiting on your master bus, among other useful tips. By the end of the course, you'll be ready to begin using these techniques right away on your very next production. These mixing videos are for those who are new to the topic of intentional audio clipping.

After welcoming you to the course, Thomas begins by showing how clipping can be used on electronic drums to add saturation and increase energy. This can really help bring a stale drum beat to life. Next, you'll learn how to apply clipping to acoustic drums, primarily for taming peaks rather than saturation.

Bass guitar applications come next, and you'll discover how clipping on a bass can add fullness and control the levels nicely. Thomas then demonstrates the technique on various buses to increase a mix's fullness and/or help push the overall level. You'll finish off with a look at using clipping to increase loudness without having to over-limit, thereby reducing possible unwanted artifacts.

You don't want to miss this course, as these techniques can be employed in many different styles and scenarios. It's an underused concept that can really transform the sound of a mix, and this course is the fastest and easiest way to learn how it works. Check out the descriptions of each creative clipping video tutorial for further details and discover how you can incorporate this effect into your upcoming track. You'll be clipping along before you know it! Watch "Creative Mixing with Clipping Explained®" today!
