Sorry dude missed that one!

 

[Dustin Morrison]

No Prob. haha Thanks for the input though!

yup... clipper on master bus makes alot of distortion.

Well.... I guess I'm using the clipper in ozone on the master. Hmm.. So Joey, are you setting ozone on very fast or transparent or something?

I too would like to know

I use the Stillwell Event Horizon. Imo it's the best & very transparent

I was using it in conjunction with the t-racks classic clipper but now I just use this.

I'm not looking for an alternative... I'm truly wanting to compare the Gclip to the BitCrusher on a Mac

Need more confirmation?

I think everyone is missing the point of the start of this thread. It was to strictly compare the GCLIP to the BITCRUSHER in logic. that's it. No other. But we've already established that the Gclip wont work reliably on mac.

But my question does still stand about what Joey is using as his setting for Ozone on his mastering chain. That is, if he isnt using it in clip mode. Maybe transparent or very fast?

for the record, i dont use a clipper on the master bus
i use clipper on drums

I was just curious as to weather you(joey) or anyone, uses the clipper on the drums as a whole i.e. on the drum bus, or do you use a clipper on individual drums, bass drum, snare toms etc.

Event Horizon is far from transparent. I have been an EH user for a long time and the past few months have been using other plug-ins on the master bus - definitely not transparent. It seems to slightly darken the sound and muddy up the low end a tad. Also other plugs can get me more volume, it cannot get as loud as Ozone4 on the master bus, for example.

I wasnt talking about EH when I mentioned transparent. I was talking about what settings he might be using in Ozone. But i agree, I dont like EH. Tried it in Reaper.

The _question_ on the first post was:

Did anyone ever get a real and easy solution to use GClip for Mac?

And the answers to that is: GClip doesn't work for Mac, but the T-Racks Clipper does with similar result.

Right, but the point of posting the thread was I wanted to find out if it could be used on mac so I could compare GClip to Bitcrusher. hahaha

I've used bit crusher, you can basically do the same thing. Just set it to 24bit, no downsampling, and increase drive. You can't push it as far as G-Clip, and I definitely wouldn't use it on the master bus. I think if I had to rank the plugs with my limited use of g-clip, its
G-clip > Tracks Clipper > Bitcrusher

Right.... I've been using it for about 2 years. I most recently used it on this little test loop: http://soundcloud.com/evilcleatus/test-mix-12/s-2jpsO

But I've been playing around with the Fatso JR the last few days. It clips pretty nice.
