Initial Audio has released Initial Clipper 2, a free soft clipper plugin for professional audio production. Designed to add warmth and dynamic control to your mixes, it includes intuitive controls for gain, threshold, saturation, and ceiling, making it a powerful yet simple tool for taming peaks and enhancing harmonics.
Versatile Clipping For Modern Genres
Whether you’re producing Hip Hop, EDM, or any genre that needs loud, punchy mixes, Initial Clipper 2 offers a clean way to control transients without distortion. It uses soft clipping to avoid the harshness of brickwall limiters, while the new ceiling control lets you cap output peaks precisely.
You also get a real-time waveform display and integrated LUFS metering (Integrated, Short Term, Momentary, Loudness Range) to help maintain consistent loudness across tracks.
