LIMITER
Intelligent limiting for modern music
Bad limiter settings can undo hours of hard mixing work. Mastering The Mix's LIMITER plugin intelligently analyzes your music to help you dial in the best settings to master your audio, whether you’re aiming for a super-loud master or optimizing your audio for streaming.
“They have done it again!!! Limiter is simple yet very innovative compared to other limiters. Super easy to use, very musically balanced, and you've got to love NRG/PCH add-ons. Just Brilliant!” – Jordan Shultz (producer: Nicki Minaj, Sean Paul, Rita Ora, Kesha, Ed Sheeran, Post Malone, P!nk, Jonas Brothers, and Demi Lovato)
LEVELS
Audio metering that catches what you miss
Metering is an unglamorous but essential part of production if you want to create pro-sounding music. LEVELS was designed to make metering simple for artists who want to stay in their creative flow.
“LEVELS is a refreshing alternative, presenting the metering tools that are needed in today’s loudness-normalized world in an affordable, easy-to-use package.” – Sound On Sound
EXPOSE 2
Instantly spot mix issues before release
So many tracks get distributed with a poor EQ balance, true peak clipping, over-compression, phase issues, and more. It takes 3 seconds to identify these issues in the standalone app EXPOSE 2, and fix them before it's too late.
“EXPOSE is a very useful analysis tool to have when you’re preparing files to send for mastering or publication, and can save you from being disappointed with the sound of your music once it’s online.” – Audio Plugin Guy
