Try the Laidback Limiter for free: Video by: @laidbackluke Developed by renowned DJ Laidback Luke, Laidback Limiter is a multi-band pre-clipper and dual-stage brickwall limiter, perfect for maximizing the loudness of your tracks. Dual-stage brickwall limiting with a twist One of the industry secrets of mastering engineers around the globe is the process of pre-clipping, pre-processing a track’s transients with a clipper or saturator to create headroom for the final brickwall limiting stage. The Laidback Limiter makes this process easy, integrating a unique multiband clipper with perfect auto-gain. Combined with the final brickwall limiter, this makes the Laidback Limiter the perfect plugin to maximize the loudness of your tracks. The Laidback Limiter features a unique multiband clipper with perfect auto-gain, letting you independently clip each of the four frequency bands with surgical precision, all while automatically retaining loudness and tonal balance. Plus, each clipper features an attack control to let transients through, a release control to smooth out the clipping distortion, and a stereo link control to shape the clipper’s behavior in the stereo field. After pre-clipping, you can mix in the pre-clipped signal as it enters the maximize stage (the dry signal and clipped signal are perfectly phase-aligned internally to avoid any phase issues). You can then use the boost control to push your track into the plugin’s powerful brickwall limiter, increasing your track’s loudness. The maximize section offers lookahead, release, transients, knee, and ceiling controls to adjust the behavior of the brickwall limiter and reduce any limiting artifacts. 00:00 - Intro 00:42 - Plugin Overview 1:46 - Special Sauce Preset 3:20 - 2 Things Critical for Loud Masters 4:14 - outro Introducing A Powerful NEW Mastering Plugin: The Laidback Limiter #musicproduction #mastering #mixing #producer #musicproducder #plugins #vsts #edm #hiphop #dancemusic #sounds #splice
