Hi Tone - not sure if this helps but if you click on the picture, the producer has one of his Ableton Favourites selected with all of his effects racks at least partially visible. Looks like he uses a lot of D16 plugins, RC20, God Particle, Soundtoys, Serum, OTT and I suspect that Sugar Bytes WOW filter might be used somewhere on the lead. I think it is probably more about how expertly you use the plugins you have but at least you get visibility of the type of 3rd party plugins were used

Thanks Rob, appreciate that. I tend towards the more melodic Anjunadeep style of track and so it wouldn’t work if it only supports the hyper loud genres. However, the producer behind the videos suggests it should work across electronic genres

There is a Artist/Youtuber (Baphometrix) running a series of tutorials on a technique dubbed Clip To Zero. Essentially using specific clippers and/or DMG Track Limit across all tracks and groups to achieve close to commercial loudness in the mix. Lots of little clips across the mix rather than smashing everything through a single master clipper. The whole process is meant to take a lot of the heavy lifting off the master chain
It would be helpful to get Producertech’s thoughts on this process. Is it genuinely better than a more traditional mixing/mastering approach? Technically, are the explanations why you don’t have oversample the specific plugins used valid? Or does the process just introduce a whole load of digital distortion and aliasing? It looks good but I don’t have the technical knowledge to assess it
The whole process is described across multiple long videos but there is a well written guide linked under this video

Thanks for any guidance on this
