REQ: LVC-Audio Limited-MAX v3.0.3

Experience New Limits

Limited-MAX is a full-featured mastering limiter, designed for transparent mastering applications. It features a high degree of customization and flexibility, and includes innovative features designed to produce naturally-sounding limiting on numerous audio sources. Limited-MAX starts with a clean and transparent compressor/limiter engine, but it doesn’t stop there.

Full Control – Full Options

Limited-MAX utilizes separate limiting algorithms to dynamically select the best process for the incoming signal level. Borrowing some technology from Clipped-MAX, Limited-MAX included a custom-designed ClipShifter engine for managing fast transient sections. To handle more sustained loudness, Limited-MAX employees a fast peak limiter and waveshaper. To control it all, Limited-MAX uses an X/Y input control to allow the user to select and configure how Limited-MAX dynamically switches between each of the algorithms.

More than a Limiter

In addition to the standard limiter controls like attack, release, and look-ahead, Limited-MAX adds several controls that make it a versatile limiter. Limited-MAX includes a selectable DC filtering, complete dither metering and controls with custom-designed noise shaping algorithms, and controls for dynamically changing low and high frequencies and transients.
