In addition to the typical limiter functionality, Limited-MAX 3 contains some features from the developer’s Clipped-MAX clipper plug-in. Alongside the several limiting algorithms, there is also the ClipShifter engine which is optimized for fast transients.
The plug-in also has a waveshaper with blending of different algorithms from an X / Y pad. You have to find the sweet spot between clean, smooth, punch and aggressive. This is also a way of injecting a more analogue-style sound in place of the precision that digital is known for.
In addition to attack, release and look ahead parameters, Limited-MAX 3 also features a DC filter and dither with a selection of noise shaping algorithms. Metering is also accomplished, with support for True Peak, EBU and PSR. The plug-in offers a target learning function for short-term loudness as well. Compared to earlier versions, ISP monitoring has been improved, as has protection against inter-sample peaks.
If you feel like trying this plug-in out yourself, give the demo a spin. The limiter is really quite cheap for the professional feature set it offers.
