Limited-S: Redefine Your Sound with Precision
The Limited-S plugin stands out in the crowded field of audio processors by providing a meticulously engineered solution for de-essing, sound enhancement, and harshness control. Designed for both mixing and mastering applications, this plugin brings unmatched clarity and control to your audio projects.
Key Features:
-
Advanced FIR Filter Technology: Unlike traditional compressors, Limited-S uses a Finite Impulse Response filter that continuously calculates the signal’s envelope, eliminating guesswork in setting attack and decay times. The result is transparent de-essing where only the overly harsh sibilance is tamed without affecting the underlying vocal quality.
-
Fixed Threshold De-Essing: Limited-S operates with a fixed threshold, focusing on peak signal levels—much like a limiter. This method avoids the overcompression of initial sibilance and under-control of trailing sibilance that commonly occurs in other de-essers.
-
Flexible Channel Control: Whether you need to process a full mix or just target specific components like Mids, Sides, Left, or Right channels, Limited-S offers comprehensive control. This flexibility is ideal for nuanced de-essing of vocals in a master track while preserving the integrity of side elements.
-
Enhancement Capabilities: With the High Lift control, add a subtle brightness to mixes or master tracks, enhancing clarity while keeping excessive highs in check.
-
Dynamic Sidechain Input: Utilize the sidechain input to manage high frequencies dynamically. For example, you can keep vocals clear and prominent even during intense cymbal crashes by having the highs “duck” in response to another signal.
-
CPU Efficiency: Limited-S smartly switches between mono and stereo modes, optimizing CPU usage according to the track’s needs, ensuring minimal impact on system resources.
Applications:
Limited-S is perfect for audio professionals looking to refine vocal tracks, enhance overall mix clarity, and control harshness in any audio context. Its precise control and CPU efficiency make it an essential tool in both home studios and professional environments.
