Voxengo 这个叫做 OVC-128 的过采样削波插件能够在信号通过最终的限幅器之前通过削波进行响度增益，这样限幅器就能吸收微小的过度峰值而不用应用增益。
OVC-128 的使用方式与模拟设备类似，当信号采样率为 44.1kHz 时，OVC-128 的内部采样率可以达到 5.6 MHz。但值得注意的是，OVC-128 对于 CPU 有较高的要求。对一个立体声轨道进行 128X 过采样削波，相当于对 1000 个轨道进行简单的单削波处理。
OVC-128 尤其适合与 Voxengo Elephan 母带限幅器的 EL-C 模式搭配使用，这个组合可以同时达到高能量和顺滑的效果。

OVC-128 is a massively-oversampled soft/hard clipper effect AudioUnit, AAX, and VST plugin for professional music production applications. A common use for this plugin is hard-clipping before the final mastering limiter. This is an effective approach in contemporary electronic music, when loudness is boosted using a clipper plugin while minor excessive peaks are absorbed by a final peak limiter that applies small to moderate gain itself.
Clipping the tracks via OVC-128 is practically similar to clipping using high-quality outboard analog gear. At 44.1kHz source sample rate, the internal audio sample rate of OVC-128 is a whopping 5.6 MHz!
A perfect combination for contemporary electronic music production is OVC-128 followed by Voxengo Elephant mastering limiter in the “EL-C” or “EL INS” mode. This combination produces both energy and smoothness.
Note that OVC-128 is a relatively CPU-demanding effect plugin, it requires a higher-end processor for comfortable use. Performing 128X-oversampled clipping on a single track is computationally similar to performing a simple clipping on 1000 tracks.
