Shape the peaks. Add density and a firmer edge, with a dedicated Shape control to set the clipping character.
Density · drums · assertive peaksThe final stage. Rebuilt.
Bring your mix up to level and keep its impact. Three engines, full-band or multiband control, and a clear view of every change. From clean peak control to dense, punchy loudness.
Tutorial
A tour of the real plugin while it masters a mix: the three engines, full band and multiband, tone and stereo, the meters and loudness targets, true peak, dither, A/B comparison and the factory presets.
Choose your character
Some mixes need a little safety. Others need weight and impact. Choose how LIMITRON handles the peaks, then use Threshold and Ceiling to find the right balance.
Shape the peaks. Add density and a firmer edge, with a dedicated Shape control to set the clipping character.
Density · drums · assertive peaksBring clipping and limiting together. Shape the transient contribution, then let the limiter hold the result.
Impact · punch · a louder masterKeep peaks in check with look-ahead gain reduction. Set the release to suit the movement of your mix.
Clean control · acoustic · final safetyFull band / Multiband
Work on the whole mix as one signal, or split it into three bands. The bass, body and top end can each drive their own reduction, with a dedicated view showing what happens in every band.
Output History
Follow eight seconds of input and output with a smooth, continuous history. Read loudness, true peak and reduction alongside it. Compare two settings, match the level, and listen to the signal the engine removes.
A clear path to the finish
Pick one of eight factory starting points. Choose an engine and a working loudness target, then find the amount of drive that suits the mix.
Adjust spectral tilt, transient / sustain and stereo width. Refine the timing and channel link, or work in Mid/Side.
Use true-peak protection and loudness meters. Analyze a representative passage, then verify the full song before export. Add dither when it is time for final delivery.
Rebuilt for version 2
A new graphite and lime interface brings the whole mastering chain into focus, with reworked processing underneath.

Yes. The macOS installer includes both Intel and Apple Silicon versions of the VST3 and Audio Unit plugins in one universal package. macOS 11 or newer is required. The release has been tested on a physical Intel iMac and an Apple Silicon MacBook.
VST3 on Windows 10 / 11 (64-bit). VST3 and Audio Unit on macOS 11 or newer, on Intel and Apple Silicon. A compatible plugin host is required. There is no AAX version for Pro Tools and no standalone app.
Full Band treats the mix as one signal. Multiband separates it into low, mid and high bands at 120 Hz and 2.5 kHz, so a strong bass hit does not drive the whole engine in the same way. The Bands view shows gain reduction for each band. Switching the graph alone does not change the processing mode.
Choose a working loudness target and run Analyze over a representative 15-second passage to adjust Threshold. Then measure the complete song and listen. The target is a starting point, not a guarantee of the final loudness or a streaming service's delivery requirements. Set Ceiling separately.
LIMITRON 2 keeps the original plugin identity and parameter IDs, and installs as an update. Existing projects can recall their settings. The rebuilt processing can change how those settings sound, so save your sessions and audition them after updating.
No licence key or online activation is required. The macOS installer is signed and notarized by Apple. On Windows, the installer adds the WebView2 runtime if it is missing; that first-time runtime download needs internet access.
The LIMITRON 2 Windows installer, a universal macOS installer for Intel and Apple Silicon, and the User Guide (PDF). One licence covers up to three of your own computers. LIMITRON 2 is included in the All Plugins Bundle, the All-Access Pass and the separately purchased Plugins & Apps Upgrade. Lifetime Access alone does not include plugins.
