ClipStar is a soft clipper effect plugin by delamancha, designed to prevent peaks in a subtler way than hard clipping, increase loudness and add pleasing saturation.
Where ClipStar differs from other clippers is that it can leave the low frequencies untouched, where distortion is more evident, and allow a greater boost in gain without noticeably degrading the signal. You can use ClipStar for peak protection, loudness gain, or for sympathetic distortion depending on your mood and the phase of the moon.
