Elevate Mastering Bundle: Multi-Band Limiter and Mastering Tools by Newfangled Audio

The limiter adapts its attack, release and look-ahead settings for each filter band. According to the developer, this is meant to reduce pumping, breathing and perceived distortion when the signal is pushed hard.

Transient handling is applied across the critical bands, so attacks from kick drums, snares and cymbals can be preserved or emphasized without affecting the whole mix. Solo mode lets you isolate a band to hear problem frequencies or check how gain and transient changes affect it.

An Auto Output Level feature matches the gain of the limited and unlimited signal so you can compare them fairly. Six metering types cover different aspects of the output.

EQuivocate is a graphic EQ built on 26 auditory filters modeled on the human ear, with a linear-phase filter shape that the developer says reduces pre-echo. It includes a parametric EQ, compressor, gate, soft saturation, transformer emulation, micro pitch shift and stereo delays.

Saturate is a spectral clipper that adds up to 12 dB of clipping with a shape control running from soft curves to hard clipping. Punctuate is a multi-band transient modulator with control over all 26 bands from four controls.

These tools can be used on individual tracks or on a full mix.
