Unleash the full potential of your music with the Laidback Limiter, a dual-stage brickwall limiter that adds a unique twist to your mastering process. Mastering engineers worldwide swear by the technique of pre-clipping to enhance a track’s transients, creating headroom for the final limiting stage. The Laidback Limiter not only simplifies this process but takes it a step further by incorporating a distinctive multiband clipper with flawless auto-gain. This, combined with the powerful brickwall limiter, positions the Laidback Limiter as the go-to plugin for maximizing the loudness of your tracks.
Multiband Clipping Redefined
Perfect Auto-Gain: The Laidback Limiter introduces a groundbreaking multiband clipper with impeccable auto-gain. Clip each of the four frequency bands while effortlessly maintaining the loudness and tonal balance of your track. The clipper features controls for attack, release, and stereo link, providing surgical precision in pre-clipping different frequency regions.
Loudness Maximization at Your Fingertips:
Phase-Aligned Mixing: Mix in the pre-clipped signal seamlessly as it enters the maximize stage. The dry signal and clipped wet signal are internally phase-aligned, eliminating any phase issues caused by the multiband section. Utilize the boost control to drive your track into the potent brickwall limiter, enhancing its loudness.
Maximize Section Features: The maximize section offers controls like lookahead, release, transients, knee, and ceiling to tailor the behavior of the brickwall limiter and minimize limiting artifacts.
