SIR Audio Tools Releases StandardCLIP Dynamics Control + Effects Plug-In
SIR Audio Tools is a plug-in developer that offers a handful of intelligently developed plug-ins. StandardCLIP, their latest offering, allows for control over the volume level of an audio signal or for additional odd harmonic content.
The plug-in expresses the limiting process in a more in-depth way. StandardCLIP offers slightly more than the conventional amount of content that comes with a ‘standard’ limiting plug-in. Users are able to adjust the way clipping is done with oversampling or down-sampling filter types, altering the output greatly. Choices come down to sacrificing phase shift or not.
The StandardCLIP demonstrates volume control in multiple varieties.
The StandardCLIP is available for an intro price of $25, and can be purchased in ‘StandardCLIP + StandardEQ Bundle’ for $139 MSRP. Availability includes Mac and PC in Audio Unit, AAX, and VST formats. Register for the SIR Audio Tools newsletter, you will also receive a 25% discount coupon, which can be used to purchase StandardCLIP and the bundle.

True Clipping
StandardCLIP is a new advanced clipping-plugin. You can use StandardCLIP as a dynamic tool to increase the volume or as an effect to add odd harmonics to your signal. StandardCLIP offers high quality oversampling up to the factor 32 and a large variety of options.
StandardCLIP was designed to handle the clipping process as flexible as possible. You can adjust the way the clipping is done easily, like a hard-limiting brick wall or smooth soft-saturated. StandardCLIP also offers input and output RMS-meters and a waveform display for the perfect control of the output volume.
The filter which is used for up and down-sampling is very important for a good result. You can choose between linear-phase and minimum-phase mode. Also you are able to change the filter quality and cut-off frequency of the oversampling process. Read more in the manual.
