Sonible Smart:Limit

Introducing the smart:limit by Sonible, a content-aware limiter that allows you control over your mix’s loudness and dynamics. This one-stop-shop limiter is designed to provide transparent and uncompromised limiting quality, which preserves the detail of your track. With extensive loudness and dynamics monitoring, smart:limit is all you need for confident publishing. The plugin guides you towards hitting the safe zone requirements of streaming platforms or loudness standards and gives you real-time feedback via interactive Quality Check hints.

Smart:limit offers AI-powered parametrization for confident limiting, speeding up your workflow with intelligent processing that analyzes your signal and finds limiting parameters in just a few seconds. Users can choose a genre-based profile to prime the plugin for different limiting characteristics, or upload a reference track for a specific limiting style. Smart:limit can be used with or without the automatic parametrization, or a combination of both.

The plugin also features an extensive information hub on loudness and dynamics, which provides all relevant loudness readouts, visual guidance regarding different publishing targets, and information on the dynamics of your track. With the revolutionary Instant Impact Prediction feature, changes are reflected in real-time without having to repeatedly playback the entire input signal.

Smart:limit allows you to monitor all relevant key metrics at a glance, including Loudness [LUFS] – integrated, short-term, momentary; Loudness Range [LU]; Dynamics [dB]; True Peak [dbTP]; and Gain Reduction [dB].

In addition to its core features, smart:limit offers unique sound-shaping tools, including a Style dial for choosing between soft or hard limiting styles, saturation for added warmth, and balance and bass control for perfect spectral polish and a rich low end.
