Re: Soft Clipper with Adjustable Threshold

I believe this formula freaks out above 0dB and provides nonsensical results. Not really "nonsense" but not what we'd want for soft clipping. You need to ensure that the transfer function never goes negative, otherwise peaks become "inverted". Putting it another way, if "x&...
