Do not reach for another limiter when clipped samples are already non-zero, when LUFS is only slightly hot, or when the mix problem is arrangement. A limiter can park true peak; it cannot restore flattened transients.

Three stops

If clips exist and you still have the session, fix the clip at the source. If true peak is high and clips are zero, a final true-peak cap is enough. If LUFS is hot and crest is gone, take gain out — more limiting only spends punch the store will not return.

Crazy Stacy’s public pair cleared 831 clips. BeatGoHard needed the ceiling more than a new mix. Different medicine.

What CoProducer projects

The web analyzer projects post-repair stats from the same plan the desktop app would apply. It does not download a mastered WAV. That honesty keeps you from treating a website form like a mastering house.

Desktop is where Pedalboard/FFmpeg write the file.

Is a limiter always last?

For delivery true-peak control, yes — after loudness moves. In the mix, stop earlier.

Can repair un-clip a vocal?

No. It can stop new overs. Flattened peaks stay flattened.
