UtiliClip.

The cleanest loud — and you can see why.

A clipper that’s demonstrably cleaner than a plain clamp, plus a few real character voices — all made provable by a visualization that lets you watch the harmonics stay clean while the aliasing never shows up.

A look inside

What it does

A better clip — and the proof
it’s better, built in.

The cleanest loud.

A distortion-controlled transparent engine — differential clipping, ADAA, and mechanical overshoot control — measures ~40 dB less audible distortion than a plain clamp at the same loudness. Louder without the crunch.

Character with memory.

Converter-overload and Diode voices (Silicon, Germanium, LED, Schottky) modeled with real stateful behavior — sag, bias-shift, hysteresis — not the static curves everyone else fakes. It reacts to what you feed it.

See why it’s cleaner.

A live harmonics-vs-aliasing view shows the flagship’s clean series against a plain clamp’s hash. Transient impact, true-peak, level-dependent behavior — all visible. Proof, not marketing.

Loud where it counts.

True-peak + LUFS metering with a streaming-safe verdict, selectable 4×/8×/16× oversampling, auto-gain for honest A/B, plus Mid/Side and 2-band multiband. Push the ceiling and stay inside the lines.

How it’s built

Three pillars.

Flagship

The transparent engine

Distortion-cancelled clipping from the broadcast lineage, plus ADAA and overshoot control. Measurably less audible distortion at equal loudness.

Character

Voices that remember

Converter and Diode colors with stateful sag, bias-shift, and hysteresis — character with memory, not a static transfer curve.

Glass

See the difference

Best-in-class visualization — harmonics vs aliasing, transient impact, true-peak. Loudness-matched A/B so the comparison is honest.

Not out yet

Working, not shipping — yet.

UtiliClip is a working AU/VST3 plugin: the core thesis is built and validated — cleaner-than-a-clamp, ceiling-honest, with the live view that proves it. We’re polishing toward release. Drop your email for one message when it ships — nothing else, ever.
