Frontier clips even it is at 0db

Hi D16, and a Happy New Year!

I wonder why Frontier is still clipping if it is set to limit at 0 dB? It's a great plugin but why no manual, too? It's kinda strange.

Best,

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

Frontier is not a brick-wall limiter, its behavior is closer to some vintage units where you can expect it peaks over the 0dB. Keep that in mind and set your output volume slightly below (-0.5 to -1 dB) with Soft Clip enabled.

Kind regards,
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian.

Thank you for your reply. A PDF manual should be nice.

Have a great year ahead!

Best,

Andrew
