The latest update of Kuassa’s incredibly useful limiter/loudness maximizer plugin, the Kratos 2 Maximizer, introduces new features designed to enhance your audio mastering experience. With an innovative Adaptive Mode for the Attack and Release parameters, this plugin is engineered for precision and ease of use. The Kratos 2 Maximizer also includes a dedicated dithering section, support for up to 4x oversampling, and a Latency Compensation toggle, all presented in a completely redesigned graphical user interface.
The original Kratos Maximizer served the purpose of making your mix loud right at your fingertips. With the new Kratos 2, you can further refine your final mix while preserving the familiar, solid workflow of Kuassa plugins. Increase perceived loudness naturally without sacrificing sound quality. Just crank the Maximize knob, tune the unique Texture knob to achieve the desired sound character, adjust Attack and Release for a tighter or looser response, and fine-tune the Knee for harder or smoother limiting action.
