Audio professionals searching for an advanced limiter with controllable artificial intelligence will be thrilled with the Sonible smart:limit, an intelligent, true-peak limiter plug-in that incorporates artificial intelligence that preserves the detail of your track and provide a transparent, uncompromised limiting quality. smart:limit also includes extensive loudness and dynamics monitoring, so additional metering plug-ins are not necessary. The plug-in is Mac and Windows compatible and works with most DAWs utilizing AU, AAX, VST, and VST3 plug-in formats.
Note:
iLok is not required to use these plug-ins. But if you are an iLok user, you may optionally activate the plug-ins with iLok License Manager and an iLok USB dongle.
