Is there a soft clipper in the ableton effects ?

if not, do you know a soft clipper for mac ? all soft clipper I can find are for windows ...

Saturator device, or the free Voxengo Tube Amp (just hit the 'Sat' button to soft-clip)

It's not native Live, but I find this clipper to be very gentle:

PHWOAR

Muuuahhaa

does it do the same exact thing as G-cliper (for windows), or the T-racks clipper ?

Please don't derail this discussion.

the ableton saturator is a superb device. use it.

not sure about d.reamonn's vibrator though.

Saturator will do it. But then Limiter is effectively a 'soft clipper' as well, isn't it? Depends what you need it to do.

I clipping and limiting, I personally hear a difference. I prefer clipping at some stage. I usually do it hard clippings. But in. This case I need a soft clipping.
I ll give a try with ableton saturator

I use Saturator for this almost TOO much. Just load the default and ram audio into it. It is my limiter sometimes, adds a little grit. Or you can bump the level up a tad to spice things up. In the manual is some essential info.

Be aware also that it had a hi quality mode option when right clicked.

Save HQ mode as default and be done with it.
