BRICKWALL HD-DT

True-Peak mastering limiter plug-in with a USB desktop controller, Master and Loudness Limiter modes

Where to buy BRICKWALL HD-DT (0815-ABX)

Hit the loudness target before you bounce.

A master can touch 0 dBFS sample by sample and still distort later. In converters and codecs such as MP3 and AAC, rebuilt peaks between samples can go higher. This True-Peak limiter measures those 0 dBFS+ peaks and gently removes them.

Aim for a loudness, not a gain setting

The Master Limiter works with input gain and a ceiling. The Loudness Limiter starts from a target between -25.0 and -6.0 LUFS. On the controller, hold Loudness Limiter during playback and it listens to your track. It then sets the gain behind the scenes.

Loudness and true peak, read on the desk

The controller shows input and output true-peak meters, gain reduction and a 3 second loudness bar. Press Meter to read integrated loudness beside max true-peak, or PLR beside LRA.

One USB cable powers the controller

One included USB cable powers the controller, and it needs no extra drivers. The plug-in opens as VST2.4, VST3, AAX native or Audio Units, at sample rates to 192 kHz. Activation uses an iLok account.
