In this video I walk you through a demonstration of the Clip-To-Zero (CTZ) production strategy revolving around single instances of KClip Pro 3 on every track and bus (instead of the "CTZ Pair" that I showed in earlier videos on the CTZ strategy). I show you how I set up the clipping and gain-staging on every track and bus on the way up to the master, demonstrating how loudness is best achieved. This walkthrough clearly shows how CLEAN, PUNCHY loudness is accomplished in the arrangement sequencing and in careful application of hard clippers all across the tracks and busses of a project. Loudness is in the arrangement and mixing--NOT in the mastering.
Wondering what the CTZ Strategy is? Start with this short 17-page written guide. Find it here at docs.google.com/document/d/1Ogxa5-X_QdbtfLLQ_2mDEgPgHxNRLebQ7pps3rXewPM/edit?usp=sharing)
This is NOT paid promotion. I bought KClip and all the other tools shown here. I have no relationship with Kazrog nor ADPTR nor FX23.
