Product Detail
The newly updated Kuassa Kratos 2 Maximizer is a powerful limiter and loudness maximizer plugin. It comes with an Adaptive Mode for Attack and Release parameters, a dithering section, up to 4x oversampling, a Latency Compensation toggle, and a completely redesigned interface. The original Kratos Maximizer VST/AU plugin was great at making your music mix louder easily. Now, with Kratos 2, you can refine your final mix to perfection. It allows you to increase the perceived loudness naturally without sacrificing sound quality in audio mastering. Just turn the 'Maximize' knob, adjust the 'Texture' knob to your liking, set the 'Attack' and 'Release' for the right response, and tweak the 'Knee' for a harder or smoother limiting effect. Key features include transparent and precise limiting, a unique Texture knob for different character, an adaptive option for Attack and Release, Latency Compensation supported by most DAWs, 3 dithering options with 3 bit - depth modes, up to 4x oversampling, a compact UI, a straightforward workflow, and support for up to 96 kHz Sample Rate.
Using the Kuassa Kratos 2 Maximizer is quite easy. First, open it in your DAW. To make your music louder, simply turn the 'Maximize' knob. This will increase the overall loudness of your mix. Then, adjust the 'Texture' knob according to your preference. If you want a smooth sound, turn it one way; for a harder character, turn it the other. Next, play around with the 'Attack' and 'Release' settings. A shorter attack will give a tighter response, while a longer one will be looser. The 'Knee' adjustment helps you control whether the limiting action is hard or smooth. As for the Adaptive Mode for Attack and Release, it's a great feature to try when you're not sure what settings to use. It automatically adjusts to your audio. Don't forget to check the Latency Compensation toggle, especially if your DAW supports it. This can help keep your audio in sync. Regarding the dithering options, you have 3 choices with different bit - depth modes. Select the one that suits your mastering needs. When it comes to maintenance, make sure your DAW and the plugin are up - to - date. Also, keep your computer in good working condition to avoid any performance issues. That's all you need to know to get the most out of the Kuassa Kratos 2 Maximizer.
