Limited-Z is a user-friendly look-ahead brickwall limiter designed for final mixing and mastering tasks. It combines multiple unique limiting algorithms to deliver clear and transparent limiting across a wide range of audio sources. This limiter can handle substantial gain reduction while minimizing audible distortion, making it suitable for achieving polished and professional sound results.

Built on the foundation of LVC-Audio's advanced mastering limiter, Limited-MAX, Limited-Z simplifies the interface without sacrificing powerful features. It integrates a specialized variable clipping algorithm derived from ClipShifter technology, offering both configurability and ease of use. The plugin includes internally managed controls such as attack, release, look-ahead, stereo linking, dynamic EQ, and DC filtering, all organized into distinct limiter modes for quick and intuitive operation.

Limited-Z also features a resizable interface with comprehensive metering options, including VU, PPM, and loudness meters, as well as intersample peak monitoring and protection. Users benefit from a waveform history display, spectrum analyzer, customizable color themes, and tools like AutoGain, undo/redo, and A/B comparison. The paid version expands functionality with advanced metering standards, oversampling options, adjustable output margins, and fine-tuning controls for the limiter’s sound and response, supporting both Windows and macOS platforms with various plugin formats.
