AuxClip Pro
True-Peak Mastering Clipper & Maximizer
AuxClip Pro is a commercial mastering-grade audio clipper and true-peak maximizer designed to deliver competitive commercial loudness without sacrificing transient punch, clarity, or low-end definition. Shave off peak micro-transients transparently before your final limiter stage to maximize headroom and eliminate audible pumping.
Where AuxClip Pro Excels
Purpose-built for transparent dynamics control across individual stems, drum groups, and master bus chains.
Pre-Limiter Master Maximizing
Clip rogue 1-2dB transient spikes prior to your final limiter. This allows your brickwall limiter to operate effortlessly without pumping or squashing energetic sub-bass frequencies.
Drum Bus Transient Snapping
Apply brickwall hard clipping to kick drums, snares, and 808s. Shave crest factor while enhancing acoustic perceived attack and chest-thumping presence in modern electronic and hip-hop mixes.
Analog Tape Knee Saturation
Dial the Knee parameter to soft saturation or tape curve to introduce musical second and third-order harmonic density to synth leads, electric guitars, and aggressive basslines.
Engineered for Transparent Power
Every digital signal processing block in AuxClip Pro is designed for pristine mathematical accuracy and lightning-fast graphical response.
Continuous Knee Waveshaper
Smoothly morphs from 0.0% pure brickwall Hard Clipping through parabolic soft saturation up to 100.0% warm Tape Knee. Tailor the transition curve to preserve transient snap or induce thick saturation.
Range: 0.0% – 100.0%Linear-Phase Polyphase Oversampling
Selectable 1x (Off), 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x, and 32x linear-phase FIR oversampling. Eliminates non-linear inharmonic foldback aliasing entirely, ensuring ultra-clean high-frequency extension even under extreme drive.
Quality: 1x – 32x FIRLinked Input / Ceiling Auto-Gain
When Link is engaged, pushing Input Gain automatically pulls down the output Ceiling by the identical decibel amount. This enables honest, uncolored level-matched auditioning so your ears judge tone, not volume.
Mode: Inverse Lock (dB)"Hear Delta" Audition Mode
Instantly solos the subtracted difference signal (Dry minus Clipped). Listen strictly to the peak transients you are shaving away to guarantee you are never compromising musical body or vocal tone.
Output: [Dry − Clipped]True-Peak / ISP Protection
Inter-sample peak monitoring safeguards against converter distortion and lossy codec overshoots during MP3, AAC, and OGG streaming compression on Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube.
Standard: ITU-R BS.1770Real-Time 60fps Oscilloscope
Hardware-accelerated waveform display visualizes incoming signal dynamics in real-time, highlighting clipped audio peaks with illuminated Austin Aux mint green glow for instantaneous visual feedback.
