Sonible smart: limit – intelligent limiting and loudness monitoring
smart: limit is more than just a limiter plug-in, says forward-thinking developer Sonible. That’s because it helps you keep an eye on the dynamics and choose the appropriate loudness for publishing on different media.

As always, where when is “smart” in a Sonible product name, it means artificial intelligence is at its heart. The motto is “Set – Check – Publish” which describes what Sonible is going for quite succinctly. The smart: limit feature set starts with monitoring tools for loudness and dynamics. There, the so-called Instant Impact Prediction functionality means you don’t have to restart the loudness measurements every time you change a parameter. Rather, the changes will be reflected in real-time without having to repeatedly play back the entire input signal.
There is also what Sonible calls “intelligent limiter logic”. The feature uses genre-based profiles to identify the correct limiting approach, and you get to dial in the desired amount of limiting. You can also select different limiter characteristics and import a reference track to serve as the blueprint. Further along, the integrated quality check tools offer interactive tips about which limiter parameters should be optimized before publishing the track.
An additional four tools let you fine-tune the sound even more. The Style parameter determines how aggressively the plug-in handles audio. Saturation increases the loudness and density of the signal without changing its peak level. Balance improves the spectral balance and the frequency-selective bass control optimizes the low end of the frequency spectrum.
