Clip shaves off peaks the way trap and drill producers do: 808s and drums cut through the mix, and the master gets louder without a compressor pumping. Push the signal into the ceiling with Input, set where that ceiling sits with Ceiling, and the display shows in red exactly what was clipped. Four characters: Hard (loudest and sharpest), Soft Knee (clean, with an adjustable knee), Analog (rounded like a transistor) and Tape (warm tape saturation). Up to 8× oversampling with linear-phase filters keeps the top end clean even when you clip hard. Gain Match levels the loudness so you compare tone, not decibels, and Delta lets you hear only what's being clipped — you know right away when you've gone too far.
