The Stem-Limiter is a low-latency limiter designed to enhance mixing workflows by controlling dynamics across individual stems or grouped channels. It offers a clear and powerful sound that can be tailored through a blend of linked and unlinked stereo modes, making it ideal for both detailed stereo mastering and multichannel processing. A Wet/Dry control allows you to mix processed and unprocessed signals, enabling creative applications such as tightening drum beats, enhancing vocal presence, and managing bass frequencies with precision.

In modern mixing, managing peaks and transients across multiple tracks is crucial to achieving a polished, loud, and dynamic final product. Relying solely on a master bus limiter can lead to distortion and pumping effects, especially when dealing with complex sessions containing dozens of audio tracks. Using several instances of this limiter throughout a mix helps maintain clarity and balance by reserving specific dynamic ranges for each element, such as drums, vocals, and bass. This approach creates more space within the mix, allowing the overall sound to remain punchy and clear without unwanted artifacts.

Built with efficiency and flexibility in mind, this limiter supports mono, stereo, and multichannel signals while maintaining low CPU usage and minimal latency. It features adjustable release times, seamless channel linking for flexible peak detection, and output level controls to fit any mix scenario. Additional features include saturation for added perceived loudness and various presets with automatable settings. Whether used for traditional peak limiting, loudness maximization, sound shaping, or parallel dynamics processing, this limiter provides a powerful yet intuitive tool for enhancing mixes with precision and character.
