As a result, the process is potentially more transparent than dynamic range compression. As such, it is often useful as a mixing tool for achieving more loudness.
Even mastering engineers sometimes use clipping to boost the loudness of a mix. I run most drum tracks through a clipper to catch any rogue volume spikes before sending the drum buss to a compressor.
As far as clipper plugins go, T-RackS Classic Clipper by IK Multimedia is one of the more flexible options on the market. It lets you adjust the clipping curve, so it’s possible to get multiple types of distortion with the plugin. When set to soft, the effect is similar to analog tape clipping.
