Check out this awesome in depth video review of the Sonnox Limiter – courtesy of Peter Barter from our sister site Pro Tools Expert.
Like Peter, I too have always been a huge fan of Sonnox plug-in’s – and this particular limiter has long been my go-to limiter of choice on my music mixes. In addition, this latest update has also brought it right up to par with the modern specs we need to hit via the added “True Peak” limiting mode.
Main Features
- Peak limiting with attack, release & variable soft-knee
- Enhance section to increase perceived loudness
- Recon meter shows actual rather than sampled signal
- Auto Comp fixes recon errors without losing overall loudness: conforming to the industry’s true peak measurement standard (ITU-R BS.1770-4)
- Audition and apply TPDF dither for 24-bit and 16-bit output word lengths with four types of variable noise shaping
- Four variable-strength noise shaping modes for use with highly dynamic program material
- Full backwards compatibility with previous Plug-In versions
- Great library of factory presets to get you started
Compatibility
- AU, VST2, AAX
- Mac / Windows
Peter goes on to say;
“With the inclusion of the very musical sounding enhancement section and newly added reconstruction meter and automatic correction to take care of the true peaks for use in broadcast loudness workflows and mastering for digital download and streaming, is the Oxford Limiter v2 the ultimate modern limiter?”
