Fuse Audio Labs OCELOT v1.0.0 WIN MAC Incl Keygen-R2R screenshot
Team R2R | 2024.12.18 | 27.3 MB
Imagine a limiter that doesn’t just make your audio louder – it also makes smarter decisions about when to limit and when to hold back. The OCELOT Limiter uses advanced psychoacoustic analysis to ensure your mix stays clean and punchy, while maximizing loudness. With its intelligent approach, it helps you push levels higher without the usual artifacts of traditional limiters.

Soft Clipper

A switchable soft clipper catches isolated peaks at the start of the processing chain, reducing the limiter’s workload. This approach results in louder output with less pumping and exceptional transparency. When pushed further, it adds a touch of aggressiveness, delivering a punchy and polished sound without introducing obvious distortion.

True Peak

The OCELOT Limiter’s true peak feature ensures precise level control by adhering to the ITU-R BS.1770 standard. This mode anticipates inter-sample peaks that could cause distortion when your signal gets converted to the analog domain, keeping audio clean and accurately below the threshold level. True peak is invaluable for mastering and all tasks where pristine sound quality is critical.

Five Flavors

With five selectable algorithms, the plugin precisely adapts to any source material, offering tailored responses from the limiter and soft clipper. The 1:1 and delta listen features allow you to fine-tune for optimal signal integrity. Noise shaping, dithering, and quantization further enhance its versatility, making the OCELOT Limiter the ultimate tool for adding power to your tracks and masters.

Ocelot Series

In an ever-growing sea of plugins, a select few stand out as essential tools you rely on in every session. These gems enhance your workflow with their powerful features and intuitive user interfaces, building the core of your personal sound. They become indispensable, evolving alongside you. The Ocelot Series puts these tools right in your hands, delivering cutting-edge low CPU, zero or low latency studio essentials built with top-notch DSP tech.

Competition is healthy for the users. I find the race to be first very entertaining. Many thanks to the teams and suppliers. Ocelot is a fine tool with a small footprint.

Credit to you, Willie, not only for leaving a gracious comment, but for being one of only a few on AZ that I believe to be using their real name and a genuine photo of themselves. I respect that.

Can we talk about the plugin, has anyone here liked the results? I'm not sure about this one.

I'm not sure what you mean by you're "not sure".
What are you looking for and what does it lack?
Or are you just asking if someone ran some squiggly line tests and numberfied loudnessicity compounds without any bad juju creeping up?

It has no internal SC filter, the 1:1 feature is a bit wonky (not really effective at maintaining a constant level). I don't really see the advantage this supposed 'psychoacoustic analysis' provides. I mainly use Elevate and Limitless, which gave me better results while I was testing Ocelot.

Solid response, legit concerns. And citing the other Limiters gave you "better results" seems to ultimately be your answer.
My go-to clean Limiter is Elephant, which like Limitless, also has quite a few more options than the Ocelot Limiter, but that doesn't seem to be what this one's about. With incredibly feature-heavy Limiters, you're not going to be able to "beat" them out, and using the best, the cleanliness is in all practicality is the same—it's mastering, so it comes down to preference and what you feel the track needs. (I don't always use Elephant because that's not always the feel of what I'm looking for, even with its multitude of limiting styles and under-the-hood options.)
All that said, I'm not someone who's ever bought into the theory that you need an internal sidechain on a mastering Limiter, or even penultimate busses, so that leads back to "What are you looking for in a Limiter?" And the answer might be "Not this" if that's a deal-breaker for you. Additionally, I'm not saying definitively that it's your mix—I can't know that—but if the 1:1 feels off, I might give your mix a look; I'm not claiming the leveling is perfect in this plugin, but nothing jumped out at me as being off. Keep in mind that no 1:1 is going to be exactly accurate, not even Letimix's Gainmatch, or other similar plugins that are built specifically to do that and only that.
Again though. it simply might not be for you, or the music you make, mix, or master under any circumstances. I don't want to get beaten to death on AZ, but *whispering* *it's okay not to have every plugin ever scripted in your arsenal.*

It's an okay limiter; I'm just not sure what the 'psychoacoustic analysis' is supposed to accomplish, which is why I'm not feeling it. I probably should have tested it against Pro-L2 and TrackLimit as well; that would have made more sense (although Ocelot does provide dithering settings, which leads me to believe that it was also designed for mastering purposes). Regarding the 1:1 feature, it works flawlessly here with Elevate and Pro-L2, for instance. I usually expect a drop in volume when I'm pushing the audio too far, but it didn't take long for that to happen with Ocelot.

I posted my first comment because I had no idea what this was supposed to do beyond regular broadband limiting. I think the advertisement may have biased my judgment since I was expecting something unique to result from the 'psychoacoustic analysis.' That's on me.

I have to agree, anything with a Dither feature has been intended for mastering, as there no use for it in the confines of a DAW. (Some esoteric sound designer is going to jump my ass for saying that, revealing some crazy usage. XD ) I find the volume thing odd, as I've been having success with it, and I'm notorious for keeping as much dynamic range as I can in my mixes, having an aversion to that "squashed" sound, so I only usually use utilitarian compression minimally, when necessary throughout a mix.
Haha, yeah, promo bias is a real thing. Fuse has solid trailer/overviews, but I could see how the "psychoacoustic analysis" description could lead to unmanaged expectations. If you watch some company's promo videos anymore, you'd think that their plugins were capable of unlocking the secrets of the universe for you.

quote by hormonemilzI'm just not sure what the 'psychoacoustic analysis' is supposed to accomplish, which is why I'm not feeling it.

They probably refer to some kind of program dependency which every newer limiter has. It's why Waves L2 sounds so bad compared to them.
Our ears perceive noise and tonal material differently, if you google K weighting filter (on which Loudness Units are based) you'll see that the curve is a compromise between the equal loudness curve (which was measured with sine tones) at 80-90dB SPL where its the flattest and the ITU-R 468 curve which depicts how we perceive noise. This is how LUFS and similarly limiters compensate for the unlimited ways how music could sound like.
Fabfilter Pro L became a famous tool because it had program dependency back when it wasn't the norm.
Elevate is apparently one of the best tools for this purpose these days, everyone seems to love it.

I mean, I thought about it but I didn't dig deep enough. It makes sense. Elevate does something similar but you can tweak the curve so it's a bit more transparent in what it does.

Trial it against your current limiter and A/B to see how much of a difference you notice.

I just gave this a go on a project I'm working on against the chain I had on (StandardClip + Ozone Vintage Limiter in Analog doing the limiting + Maximizer on TP just to catch stray peaks) and I can say without any hesitation this thing can really hold its own!

It's ZERO Latency which is insane IMO
It has 1:1 which makes it easy to A/B
It has a delta which makes it easy to hear what it's doing

I did have to drop the ceiling down as Izotope Insight showed it going above the ceiling regardless if it was in True Peak or not (which conflicts with the Peak Max shown on OCELOT.)

But honestly, I expected some overshoot considering there's no latency.

It's $29 right now so it's a no-brainer buy for me!

Personally, Fuse Audio Labs has been a great find and I'm excited to see the rest of the OCELOT range as it rolls out!

Hope this helps!

Update:
Just wanted to correct that this isn't zero latency but very low latency (1.4ms @ 48k). VST 3 did not seem to report any latency on macOS this has been fixed in 1.0.1

The fuse labs promo video. remember it's their promo so it is what it is.

This means it will say what they believe it does well. There won't be any of what it doesn't do or what it may not do well.
