About

To get your mixes to come out of the computer “loud & proud” but punchy and without unwanted distortion, it is necessary to cut off peaks and transients on all channels and stems (i.e., grouped or summed audio channels).

Any pro will tell you: ”Don´t just limit on the master buss!”

Brainworx designed bx_limiter to be used on multiple busses to smoothen things out and glue them together prior to running through a full blown mastering limiter, like the Brainworx bx_XL V2 or bx_masterdesk. These plugins work best - and most importantly sound best - when they don't have TOO MUCH limiting to do.

bx_limiter offers a great sounding limiter algorithm, then adds some great sounding saturation (to further glue signals in your mixes), and some useful features not found in your average limiter plugin.

Features

  • CPU-friendly, highly accurate limiter for Mono, Stereo & Multi-Channel signals
  • Low Latency (2ms or less depending on sample rate & system)
  • Mix control (Dry/Wet) lets you blend processed & unprocessed audio
  • Channel Link knob lets you seamlessly blend between unlinked and linked peak detection
  • Output Dim adjusts your output level conveniently in any mix session
  • 1-Click Fader Link to drive signals into limiter while compensating for level
  • XL = Saturation on board! Add that extra dB of perceived loudness
  • Adjustable Release Times
  • Stereo, mono and multi-channel operation (5.1 / 7.1 and more)
