by Vladg/Sound
Limiter No6 is a free mastering-grade dynamics processor from Vladg/Sound that chains five independent modules: a compressor, a peak limiter, a high-frequency limiter, a clipper and a protection limiter. Each stage can be bypassed or driven independently, so you can use it as a gentle glue compressor, a transparent brickwall limiter, or an aggressive loudness maximiser. Accurate metering, true-peak safe output and several character modes make it a credible free alternative to commercial mastering limiters on Windows and macOS.
