Description: BUTE Limiter 2 provides high-precision, ultra-transparent limiting of the single highest signal peak value in all audio material with a streamlined and smooth shaped user interface.
BUTE Limiter 2 is driven by Signum Audio’s new limiting algorithm, which is specifically designed for maximum transparency. For version 2, the algorithm has been further refined to provide even better performance at extreme settings. Algorithm improvements include improved bass response and support for shorter release times.
BUTE Limiter 2 also features an improved automatic release. The optimal release is calculated by analyzing the audio input and dynamically adapting the release time. The duration of the auto release can still be adjusted to best suit different types of sound, similar to the traditional limiter release settings, but sounds much more natural than its fixed length.
As a result, BUTE Limiter 2 provides smooth and ultra-transparent limiting that preserves your master’s character while taking care of any inter-sample peaks.
BUTE Limiter 2 has a resizable history view that allows you to interactively explore peaks, gain cuts, thresholds and outputs – you can choose to view an overview of your entire master or zoom in to a specific part. If any instantaneous peaks are entered using the post-boost feature, BUTE Limiter 2 will mark them prominently in the warning history. The history also supports re-measurement via automatic DAW sync and will update if you change the limiter settings so you can see how the new settings affect the sound.
BUTE Limiter 2 includes a pre-gain to increase or decrease the volume of the incoming signal before limiting, and a post-gain that will be applied after limiting.
The plugin can be configured to accentuate either the limiter output or the overall output, i.e. the limiter output with Post Gain applied. So, whether you want to hit the limiter with Pre Gain like a maximizer, or limit your signal and then use Post Gain to compensate for volume changes, BUTE Limiter 2 gives you an optimized display for your workflow.
