Description
LIMITER is a mastering limiter from Mastering The Mix that analyses the input audio and provides smart target suggestions for gain, attack, ceiling, and stereo link. It includes NRG and PCH controls for shaping harmonic energy and punch, true-peak limiting, delta monitoring, and oversampling — designed to help reach competitive loudness while preserving clarity.
What LIMITER Does
LIMITER handles the final-stage loudness step of a mastering chain. It provides smart starting suggestions tailored to the input audio, gives detailed control over how the limiting behaves, and includes monitoring tools to hear exactly what the limiter is doing.
How To Use LIMITER
- Insert LIMITER as the final processor on the master bus.
- Select a streaming or reference target if relevant.

- Adjust gain, attack, release, ceiling, stereo link, NRG, and PCH to suit the track.
- Use delta monitoring to hear what the limiter is removing.
Key Features
- Smart target suggestions for gain, attack, ceiling, and stereo link
- True-peak limiting for final peak control
- NRG and PCH controls for harmonic energy and punch
- LUFS, true-peak, and dynamic range metering
- Delta monitoring for hearing what the limiter is removing
- Oversampling and auto release options
Common Use Cases
- Final loudness stage of a streaming master
- Club and dance music mastering at higher loudness targets
- Broadcast and podcast loudness compliance
- Mastering with detailed control over peak behaviour and harmonic character
FAQ
What is LIMITER?
LIMITER is a mastering limiter that combines smart target suggestions with detailed control over peak limiting, harmonic energy, and dynamics.
Can LIMITER help reach competitive loudness?
LIMITER can help reach competitive loudness, but the clean result depends on the mix, arrangement, and how hard the limiter is pushed.
Is LIMITER enough for mastering on its own?
LIMITER handles the final loudness stage. For full mastering it is typically paired with EQ tools such as BASSROOM and MIXROOM, plus reference comparison with REFERENCE 3 and final QC with EXPOSE 2.
