A 0 dB stereo brickwall limiter with adjustable dynamics response that protects your master bus from overshoot and improves perceived loudness.

Protector typically sits on the master bus of your DAW, where its very transparent frequency response and optional lookahead protect the output, limit the overall volume and improve perceived loudness. Despite its simple set of controls, it covers a wide range from transparent limiting to colourful distortion, making it suitable on individual tracks for pumping, distortion or heavy limiting too. Large peak and RMS meters, a dynamics histogram and loudness boost monitoring provide visual feedback, and its MIDI CC output lets you control other plug-ins for side-chain effects.
