Bus Clipper

Shave Peaks. Push Loudness.

Bus Clipper is a two stage clipping plugin designed for the mastering chain. It trims transient peaks with sample accurate precision, then increases perceived loudness through waveshaping. The result is more level, more presence, and complete control without guesswork.

From clean peak control to harmonic shaping, Bus Clipper delivers flexible clipping modes and efficient processing. With advanced metering, true peak limiting, and optimized oversampling, it ensures transparent, streaming ready masters while keeping CPU usage low.
