Industry standard Mastering Clipper, Loudness Meter, and Multiband Saturator
KClip is the most transparent way to increase the apparent loudness of your masters, tracks, and buses. KClip isn’t just for mastering – in fact, it’s also incredibly useful for adding warmth, distortion, or saturation to individual tracks – use it to fatten up drums, bass, synths, guitars, vocals, and more! KClip has become a top producer’s and engineer’s choice in pop, rock, hip hop, EDM, audio post, sound design, and audio forensics.

Features

Industry leading oversampling quality - mastering grade oversampling with online and offline modes, "eco" mode for realtime monitoring.
- Multiband Processing – Use up to 4 different clipping modes (or none) split between 4 assignable bandwidth regions.
- EBU metering (LUFS) – Target loudness optimization to the desired level and quickly make sure your mix is ready for streaming.
- Resizable Window – Enhanced visualiser and metering expand to fit the desired window size.
- 8 clipping modes - Smooth, Crisp, Tube, Tape, Germanium, Silicon, Broken Speaker, and Guitar Amp.
- Threshold – A top user request for 48 dB of additional headroom and/or gain capability.
- Mid/Side processing – Clip your mid and side signals separately for extra stereo imaging control.
- Settings A/B comparison – And other workflow enhancements, such as expanded oversampling options, window settings recall, wet/dry on front panel, and more!



Changelog:
Completely rewritten visualiser, is more performant on a wide variety of systems.
Font changes for more visual clarity.
Apple Silicon Native AAX support (Pro Tools)
Changes to oversampling settings are refreshed on the fly (rather than on session reload.)
Separate offline oversampling settings is disabled in Pro Tools and Logic (these hosts will receive this feature when/if they respond to changes in reported plugin latency mid-session for PDC.)
PluginDoctor support (avoid realtime oversampling settings above 2x for the most stable results.)
Updated all frameworks and SDKs to latest stable versions.

Legit user here, this new version is buggy on my setup, win 7 ableton 11.1.
The plugin is laggy, and it freezes when I try to activate the OpenGL option, then DAW freezes and crashes... I wrote to the developper to see if I was the only one facing the issue. Meanwhile I went back to 3.5.0 which works flawlessly

this one has a multiband mode for toms and kick is awesome to get louder and more headroom

The clipping characteristics themselves are not much different from StandardClip, but like firman said, KClip has a multiband mode, and IMO, better I/O metering and graph.

Newfangled Saturate is better than all of them
  Member 27.10.2020 4 874
+1355
I wouldn't say so. That is a saturator. You only can gain into it with Newfangled instead of just pulling the clip down to cut off peaks. And this one has a multiband clip.
Standardclip has the clip and soft saturator.
So let us know why Newfangled is better when it doesn't have the same usability?

Newfangled Saturate is a spectral clipper and gives much better results that KClip. Watch
Baphometrix clip to zero series of videos on youtube to understand the science of why it's better, then put it to the test.

You don't use Standardclip or Kclip as the same function as Newfangled Saturate. They are different functions so it can't be better.
Can you point to the specific video where he uses Nefangled Saturate. Just post the title.

Baphometrix does have a video titled.

Newfangled does hard clipping as well. It has really good anti-aliasing algo and great automatic output matching. It's a very fast and great sounding tool.

Although I agree on Saturate not having a threshold to pull down and having to drive into the clip (saturate it), you do have an auto-gain output function so that you can clip+saturate without actually changing the outputs volume. Basically does the same thing. And it just sounds soo good. (I enabled auto-gain and then re-saved it as default)

I will say I have been looking for a new clipper that isn't heavy on CPU though, something to drop on every track sortof like a stock clipper that I can change later if I want. Pretty stoked to have found this and everyone reviewing it so well.

Bonus points to the person who mentioned the baphometrix Clip to Zero series, super interesting stuff. CLIPPING MAKE ME HAPPY

Not the same thing. Its in the name. Newfangled "Saturate". You have to saturate in order to clip instead of just clipping. And you can't see what you are clipping.
You trust auto-gain?S Saturate with just 0.5db gain with auto on. Comparing on and off and you can hear a difference and a loss of punch on the drum bus. Standard clip clipping - 0.5db no difference.
I wouldn't listen to Baphometrix he has his own agenda for youtube views. I watched one of his tutorials years ago when I was learning he was trying to say you have to clip everything to get loud. And couple years later of watching hundreds of producing, mixing, mastering tutorials do you know how many clip everything? Zero!
If they used a clipper it was mostly just on clap + drum peak or on the master bus.
If clipping makes you happy know the difference between Saturate and use a clipper. For CPU StandardClip also has offline oversampling.

lmao holy warrior over here.

turning on auto-gain makes the drive knob act like a threshold, it no longer adds volume as you push it up but instead simply starts clipping at quieter levels the more you drive it. maybe its too complicated concept for you to understand.

Btw what do you think a clipper is for, do you just like shaving your waveforms? Clippers are meant to saturate signals passing the threshold in a pleasant way, as opposed to just letting it digitally clip which sounds like shit. Just like limiters saturate the more you push it, except clippers were designed specifically for this purpose.

You can clip any loud signal that you want to tame pleasantly instead of letting it digitally clip. idk what you're talkin about. Its a way of maintaining loudness while not digitally clipping. And it saturates in pleasant ways, adding harmonics.

Edit: I dont think you know how to use Saturate lol, just a heads up if you want auto gain activated you actually need to click on it, even tho it says auto-gain its not actually on till you click on it. also don't use the input knob use the drive knob. then give it some shape (hard-soft), then you can play with the detail preservation.
I don't have any of the issues you seem to have with losing drum punchiness, its a literall monster at making drums knock. anywhoo cheers

They way you just over reacted to my comment and your comment saying I don't understand how Saturate works with your explanation shows you don't understand how it works.
Clippers are meant to clip not saturate.
And like you say you don't know what I'm talking about because you don't know the difference.
I even wrote with auto-gain on. So relax mate no warrior here. Go get a clipper and test for yourself before you comment again.

bro clippers add distortion its the whole point, it literally clips the waveform, as opposed to a limiter that just "squashes it". limiters are just compressors with a very high ratio, clippers shave the peaks which naturally adds distortion.
Think of it like this, a limiter would take a sine wave and make it louder while keeping it a sinewave. A clipper will turn that sinewave into a square wave, which is a distorted sinewave.

just because its called Saturate doesnt mean its a saturator. Its actually just the clipper section from their Elevate mastering limiter, but they made it into a seperate plugin.

What do you use clippers for if I may ask you?

For clipping short transients (kick peak, clap) you are not going to hear the distortion you can clip and a/b on and off without hearing a difference.
If you are hard clipping a sine wave you are doing it for the effect.
With your comment using Saturate into auto gain being the same, it isn't as you are driving into it so you are lifting the whole signal instead of just clipping the peaks leaving the lower peaks unchanged. So it's not the same.
Learn your functions. A/B them and hear the difference.
  Resident 25.04.2020 3 177

And why are you clipping your transients? Just to shave waveforms for fun? You keep saying clipping clips, but don't provide any information on what you think that actually means.

It doesn't matter if you can hear it or not, you are still affecting the waveform. As opposed to a limiter where you are simply reducing dynamic range of the waveform by squashing the whole signal.
Saturate also has a slider for soft-to-hard clipping, which is just a way of saying how aggressively it reacts after the threshold is met. With hard clipping it actually start shaving before threshold so yes you would start cutting more than just the tip top peaks, but again you have this option in saturate to soft clip.

You aren't "driving into it so lifting the whole signal", you are CLIPPING the peaks so it is perceived as louder (you know, like a limiter except again limiters actually reduce dynamic range while clippers just shave the peak giving more room for the rest of the signal).
its a clipper for god sakes, idk what you think it is but its not just a gain booster.

No, not at all. If you match their settings, they're adding almost identical harmonics (just like StandardClip), shape a sinewave in the exact same way and are therefore indistinguishable in a double blind test.
They do not null but the differences are max ~ -50dB peak, -60 and below RMS/LUFSm.

The differences are that Saturate does not have:
- multiple oversampling options
- different algos
- multiband
- zero latency

Thanks for this info would you recommend Kclip or StandardClip?
One thing I'd point out is that being a spectral clipper, Saturates best use is probably not clipping a sinewave.

I'm not clipping things too often and have zero experience with KClip.
I guess it's a matter of workfow and options. If you're used to StandardClip and don't need multiband clipping, it's ok, but for MB clipping it doesn't work.

Oh, you're right, according to the waveform New Fangled Audio's Saturate is a spectral clipper, I wasn't aware of this. This could explain its high CPU load and latency (3x and ~ 35x compared to KClip).

I think the developer once mentioned he'd include the option to show the old GUI in an upcoming update. That's been a while though, dunno if that's still planned.

Until now I had stuck with Kclip v.2...
The reason: Version 3 used much more CPU power and was not that flawless.
I´ll give it another try now. They mentioned there was an improvment in performance efficiency.
