Fuse Audio Labs has released Ocelot Clipper, a specialised peak reduction and mastering dynamics plug-in for creating greater headroom in mixes through its streamlined approach to managing loudness.
Ocelot Clipper’s advanced dynamics control provides powerful tone-shaping capabilities, offering separate Pos. Knee and Neg. Knee controls for both the positive and negative swings of a signal. In this way it can be used to sculpt the tonal balance of the harmonic content with great flexibility, and is capable of imbuing individual sources with a subtle warmth or gritty edge, as well as taming peaks.
Ocelot Clipper’s anti-aliasing options include user-selectable oversampling up to 32x and AD/DA technology, as well as a True Peak mode, to deliver pristine results while keeping CPU load manageable. Meanwhile, a latency of under 1.5ms means it is equally effective for both live applications and studio use, keeping workflow seamless and responsive.
The plug-in’s fficient workflow and extended analysis display make tricky loudness tweaks easy.
‘Clipper is the second release in our Ocelot Studio Series, delivering low-CPU, zero or low-latency studio essentials using top-tier DSP tech,’ says Fuse Audio Labs CEO, Reimund Dratwa .’The plug-in intuitively manages loudness in a very musical way, and also represents the perfect partner for our previously released Limiter.’
Ocelot Clipper is available for US$69 directly from the Fuse Audio Labs dedicated web page.
