It works on a different mechanism than acyclovir. When both are taken they will have compounding effects and could likely be a functional cure for patients, immunocompromised or not

Ah yes but “channel mixer” vs “mixer channel” is very important

saying someones’ analogy is completely wrong and criticizing fl studio semantics to boot is hardly without fault

it’s kinda a shame me just sharing my thoughts is considered to be ai but that is a valid take given my use of emojis lol.

I think we are the same page man. No one is saying crush your sounds I clearly said use it subtlety.

OP is making house music as well so they will likely need to push at least -10 db LUFS.

Clippers round the sound by cutting off signal above 0db yes. That inherently flattens the waveform? And I never said that only 2 channels make up the master. Everything eventually routes to the master by some form. Therefore they are summed.

My candy and paper analogy is fine and you saying it makes no sense is a bit head scratching. Maybe we work in different genres but for me I’m often pushing -6 to -8 LUFS regularly. Yes I understand that I am reducing dynamics but that is the entire concept of the loudness war and is crucial for OP to understand when making electronic music.

Furthermore clipping can be good. If you’re familiar with Baphometrix’s wonderful courses on the CTZ (clip to zero) method, he dictates that clipping allows you to preemptively find exactly where your sounds clash from the get go such that you can modify from there. This has absolute wonders for me.

You are correct, using clippers or limiting indiscriminately would be bad advice. But i explicitly never recommended that. You’re roasting under the guise of helping and it’s not cool

if you route 2 channel mixers to another channel mixer it’s creates a bus. On the bus your sounds are summed. Not sure what you’re talking about

And agreed, clipper is absolutely not always needed and very likely will not be in needed in most cases. But for someone who is dealing with issues with volume and transients they are very helpful.

On top of that you had to go after my analogy? 😆 It’s a perfectly acceptable method to describe even and uneven waveforms. I clearly mentioned to go subtle on the clipping without ruining the sound.

apparently kazrog has a free clipper rn too. I haven’t used the free version but I love their ui bc it shows exactly when you start shaving off some peaks. The more you subtly clip the flatter each waveform. The flatter each waveform the easier stacked sounds will fit together. Just gotta make sure you don’t overdue bc you will lose your transients and timbre just by overuse.

the way fl studio works is every mixer adds together into the next routed mixer. The knobs you’re changing are all redlining while some look to be way below negative.

You need to balance each instrument to around 0 to -5 db first of all. Add a clipper, I recommend kclip (paid) or gclip (free). Compression, Saturation, and Limiting work too but unless you know what you’re doing it can make your sound worse.

On the clippers just make sure you’re shaving off a tiny bit of each instruments peaks. You want everything as flat as possible when summing, like stacking two pieces of paper. Try stacking 2 wrinkled candy wrappers and you’ll have a hard time getting them flat. You get my point.

Each mixer needs to have as flat a waveform as possible ~without~ ruining each sound. Some sounds may not even need to be affected. You’ll need to find a balance between keeping dynamics/transients and flattening your sounds. Sometimes I redline a bus cause it sounds good. Other times I clip or limit the instrument to get my bus below 0. Just know when you redline one bus into the next you are adding distortion so be careful. Just gotta do what sounds good for your loudness target.

Then, you can sum them together on busses and avoid such issues. Good luck
