ALTITUDE LIMITER

Assemble the limiter like a studio rack. Enable only the columns you need — from a minimal two-column chain for quick, low-CPU limiting up to a full six-column configuration with dual stages, auto output, and safety.

Optional multiband limiting brings frequency-dependent gain reduction across four bands, with independent thresholds, tone-balance controls, and five reconstruction methods — Minimum, Weighted, RMS, Peak-Aware, and Energy Conservation.

Always run multiband mode with at least one safety limiter enabled — on its own it will not clamp peaks to a true 0 dBFS ceiling.

Two peak-detection methods set how the limiter catches transients. Instant works sample-by-sample with negligible latency, ideal for tracking and percussive material, while windowed analyzes peaks over a held buffer, adding latency for smoother, flutter-free reduction.

Adaptive Drive finds the precise moment where more drive stops buying more loudness, using a novel motion-based detection to sit right at that edge on any material.

Hard Safety is a final, transparent brick-wall stage fixed at 0 dBFS, so nothing can escape above full scale. It is a simple, CPU-efficient limiter and more forgiving than the crest-based compensation in Soft Safety.

Advanced plotting, visualizations, and metering let you see your sound while you work in embedded or standalone windows. Waveform, FFT, loudness, phase, and stereo views provide a clear picture of exactly what the system is doing.

The built-in TEST feature runs a controlled signal through your chain so you can view the limiting envelope and confirm a given frequency is fully limited before you print.
