Production Techniques • Re: Glue compressor before or after clipper?

I think the order should be:

1. Compressor,
2. Clipper.

Why? Because the compressor increases the volume and reduces the dynamics
more gently. The clipper, on the other hand, attacks very hard, it cuts off the
peaks harshly. That's why it's better if it works last. It processes the peaks that
the compressor has left behind that are too loud.

However, there may also be situations in which it is advantageous to use the
clipper first.
