SIR Audio Tools StandardCLIP - Perpetual License

StandardCLIP is a clipping plugin by SIR Audio Tools, built to shave off peaks and raise loudness while keeping the sound clean and natural. Producers and mixing or mastering engineers use it on drums, bass, individual tracks and the master bus, wherever transients need to be controlled more transparently than with a limiter alone. This listing is a licence for the plugin: the activation key unlocks StandardCLIP in your audio workstation after installation.

This product is a perpetual license key for SIR Audio Tools StandardCLIP: it does not expire and can be used on 3 devices running macOS and Windows. The key is delivered by email together with the activation instructions.

A typical use is to place StandardCLIP before a limiter on the master bus, or on a drum group, and clip only the loudest peaks by a few decibels. The limiter then has less work to do, which usually gives a louder result with fewer pumping artefacts.

Key Features:

• Clean clipping: Peaks are cut instantly instead of being compressed, so the level rises without the pumping that a compressor or limiter can cause.
• Clip modes and Soft-Clip Saturator: Several clipping modes and the Soft-Clip Saturator slider move the sound from hard and precise to softer and warmer, with added harmonics.
• Oversampling up to 256x: High-quality oversampling reduces the aliasing that clipping creates and keeps the high frequencies clean even at stronger settings.
• Gain, Clip and Ceiling: Separate input gain, clip threshold, output gain and ceiling controls, with peak and RMS meters on both sides and an A/B comparison.
• Standard plugin formats: Available as VST, VST3, AU and AAX for Windows and macOS, including Apple Silicon Macs, so it loads in the most common audio workstations.
