sonible releases smart:limit - intelligent true peak limiter with guided loudness monitoring Graz, December 13, 2021 – sonible’s latest addition to its AI-powered range of plug-ins is an intelligent true peak limiter. smart:limit offers automatic parametrization, extensive loudness monitoring and a unique set of sound-shaping tools. Additionally, the plug-in interactively guides users in finding the right loudness and dynamics for publishing. smart:limit is an AI-powered tool that actually makes “set – check – publish” as straightforward as it sounds. Combining features that belong together smart:limit is all about worry-free limiting: by analyzing the signal’s characteristics and the various influences limiting can have on the sound, the plug-in gives users real-time access to all the relevant information about the loudness and dynamics of a track. Newly designed processing and genre-based profiles suggest limiter settings that preserve detail and ensure a mix that can breathe. smart:limit offers effortless control: its comprehensive loudness monitoring section visually guides users in finding the Sonic Sweet spot for loudness and dynamics while meeting the safe zone requirements for a vast variety of streaming services and loudness standards. The quality check option flags problematic parameters and provides interactive hints for how to tweak them before publishing. smart:limit’s revolutionary Instant Impact Prediction takes reliable loudness monitoring to the next level: every change is reflected in all loudness and dynamics values in real-time without having to repeatedly play back the input signal. Vibe is in the detail For fine-tuning tracks, smart:limit offers a sound-shaping panel with four unique tools: The style dial lets users determine how aggressively the limiter hits the audio material. The saturation control boosts perceived loudness without increasing the peak level. The balance control – based on sonible’s AI powered equalizer smart:EQ 3 – makes it easy to subtly tweak the spectral balance prior to publishing and the frequency-selective bass control lets users effortlessly enhance the low end of a signal. "We started out with smart:limit by first breaking down the limiting process, the requirements of norms, the normalization practices of streaming services as well as all the info you need to publish a creation with an intended sound. From that we then developed a tool that is a unique one-stop-shop in the realm of limiters and loudness monitoring.” Alexander Wankhammer, Head of product management and CMO, sonible smart:limit – key features • Automatic limiter parametrization in seconds • Extensive loudness monitoring with all relevant information for publishing • Visually guided loudness and dynamics targeting for streaming services, loudness standards, genres and reference tracks • 4 sound-shaping tools for fine-tuning and styling • Instant Impact Prediction for a smooth workflow • Quality check for confident settings adjustment • Distortion display and intelligent auto release Regular price: 129,- (incl.
