Limiter vs. Maximizer vs. Clipper – What’s the Difference? 🎛️🔥

Want to make your mix louder without ruining it? In this video, I break down the difference between a limiter, a maximizer, and a clipper, and show you exactly when and how to use them for professional-sounding mixes and masters.

🔹 FabFilter Pro L2 (Limiter) – Stops peaks, prevents clipping, and keeps your mix transparent.
🔹 iZotope Ozone 11 Maximizer – Boosts perceived loudness while preserving dynamics.
🔹 Gold Clip (Schwabe) – Shapes transients and adds harmonic saturation for extra punch.

🎧 I’ll demo each plugin and show the best way to achieve pro-level loudness without sacrificing clarity!
