🏆 RMS Match™ — Measurement, Not Guesswork

Every clipper on the market uses −ceiling linear compensation for auto makeup.

That's a guess.

GPC's RMS Match™ actually measures the loudness difference between your input and output over ~2 seconds,

then sets Output Gain to compensate. One click. Done.

Soft clipping preserves RMS while reducing peaks — linear compensation can't account for that.
