In this video, I do a deep dive into the potential problems with oversampling in a clipper (or any type of non-linear processing such as limiting, saturation, distortion, and compression). I also explain and demonstrate why I recommend KClip 3 above all other clippers for the goal of dynamic range control and loudness. (With one exception being Newfangled Saturate, but that's a subject for another video coming soon.)
Note: This video isn't strictly one of the "Mixing Loud with CTZ" episodes, because it's of general interest to anyone using clippers. But I am including this in the playlist for that series because the subject matter is also very related to the CTZ strategy and why I recommend KClip as the main clipper for CTZ gainstaging and workflow.
