Description
Overview
The T-RackS Brickwall Limiter by IK Multimedia is a professional-grade multi-algorithm limiting processor designed to bring your mixes and masters up to industry-standard RMS levels. Operating on the principle of a compressor with an infinite ratio (∞:1) and ultra-fast attack and release times, this tool ensures that no signal ever crosses the established threshold, effectively eliminating digital overs while maximizing loudness.
Engineered for transparency and efficiency, the Brickwall Limiter allows producers to achieve a bold, finished sound quickly. By simply setting the Output Ceiling and increasing the input, you can push your tracks to competitive volumes without sacrificing the integrity of your audio.
