Product Detail
After perfecting your mix, join a growing group of pros who've picked the Oxford Limiter v3. It delivers top - notch loudness, density, and presence while keeping the clarity and transient details that regular brick - wall limiting can't offer. This plug - in is a true peak limiter with improved processing and metering accuracy. You can spot and fix invisible reconstruction overloads automatically and meet the ITU - R BS.1770 - 4 industry standard. Whether you want its well - known transparency or more creative effects, its advanced look - ahead processing and unique Enhance function help you avoid clipping and increase apparent loudness. Features include peak limiting with adjustable attack, release and soft - knee, an Enhance section for more perceived loudness, a Recon meter showing the real signal, Auto Comp fixing recon errors without losing overall loudness, TPDF dither for 24 - bit and 16 - bit outputs with four noise - shaping types, four noise - shaping modes for dynamic materials, full backward compatibility with previous versions, and a great set of factory presets to start with.
Using the Sonnox Oxford Limiter v3 is quite straightforward. First, open the plug - in in your audio editing software. For basic peak limiting, you can adjust the attack, release, and soft - knee settings according to your needs. If you want to increase the perceived loudness, use the Enhance section. The Recon meter shows the actual signal, so keep an eye on it. If you see reconstruction errors, let the Auto Comp function do its job to fix them without sacrificing overall loudness. When you're ready for output, you can choose to apply TPDF dither for 24 - bit or 16 - bit output word lengths and select from four types of variable noise shaping. For highly dynamic program material, pick one of the four variable - strength noise - shaping modes. As for maintenance, make sure your audio editing software is up - to - date, as the plug - in relies on it. Also, don't overload your system with too many resource - intensive tasks while using the limiter. Keep in mind that this plug - in is fully backward - compatible with previous versions, so you can use your old presets if you like. And if you're new to it, start with the great library of factory presets to get a feel for how it works.
