Questions about clipping in general (not Cubase specific)

“That’ s not incorrect, it’ s one of two ways to do it.”

I guess if you have a master bus plugin you’re worried about, there’s a third way as well.
You can bring down the trim control on Cubase’s master bus, since it’s before the inserts.

If you have a plugin that distorts in a master insert, the trim is handy for getting it to distort “just enough”.
