Cruncher – Detail Preserving Clipper Plug-In
A detail-preserving hard clipper — VST3 / CLAP audio plugin built with nih-plug.
Cruncher uses high-pass foldback distortion to preserve high-frequency transient detail when hard-clipping audio signals. Instead of flattening peaks entirely, it isolates the high-frequency content from the clipped peaks and folds it back into the signal, keeping your mix punchy without losing groove or definition.
This plugin is distributed on a name-your-price basis. Support the project and grab Cruncher for whatever you think it's worth — even free.
Suggested price: $5
A massive thank you to Au5 for sharing the original Ableton effect rack concept that inspired this plugin. Cruncher was built to make that exact workflow accessible to producers in every DAW with a dedicated, visual interface.
