LVC-Audio Limited-MAX v1.1.0 WiN

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 natural-sounding limiting on numerous audio sources. Limited-MAX starts with a clean and transparent compressor/limiter engine, but it doesn’t stop there.

Limited-MAX utilizes separate limiting algorithms to dynamically select the best process for the incoming signal level. Borrowing some technology from ClipShifter, 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. Additionally, Limited-MAX adds Dynamic EQ controls for taming (or regaining) lost lows or highs.

In addition to the standard limiter controls like attack and release, look-ahead, and output margin control, Limited-MAX adds several controls that make it a versatile limiter. Limited-MAX includes a selectable DC filter, complete dithering controls with noise shaping, fully configurable stereo linking, and mid/side processing with channel emphasis. Limited-MAX also adds an auto-learn control for appropriately adjusting the input level, and an auto-gain control for comparing the limited signal to the original signal while accounting for the gain

Additional Features:
New oversampling modes, including linear phase, mimimum phase, and"zero phase." Now with rates up to 16x (2x, 4x, 8x, and 16x)
Additional pre-processing algorithms for increased output levels while maintaining transparency
Selectable output metering, using the traditional LVC-Audio meter, or K-Metering (K-20, K-14, K12)
Selectable secondary metering, showing either gain reduction, input level, inter-sample peaks (ISP), or estimated distortion level
Exporting/Importing/Sharing presets across various plugin formats (i.e., AU, VST, RTAS, AAX, VST3) through text files and copy/paste
ISP Squash control for controlling inter-sample peaks with heavy limiting
Windows: VST, VST3, and AAX plugin formats. Limited-MAX requires Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 machines with a processor that supports SSE2 (AMD or Intel processor from around 2004 or later). An iLok device is required to use the AAX format.
OS X: AU, VST, VST3, and AAX plugin formats. Limited-MAX requires OS X 10.8 or later, and an Intel Core2Duo processor (or better). An iLok device is required to use the AAX format.
