In this video, I expand on the difference between using a clipper versus using a limiter to control your peaks.

This is episode 20 in a series about how to mix for loudness, in large part by using a specific approach to gainstaging and dynamic range control that I call the "Clip-to-Zero (CTZ) strategy".
