Limiting is a key technique in audio production used to control the dynamic range of a track or mix. By setting a ceiling threshold that transient peaks cannot exceed, limiting raises the overall loudness without causing digital distortion. This process operates similarly to compression but with an infinite ratio, ensuring no signal surpasses the set limit. Fast attack and release times help preserve the natural character of the audio while maintaining a consistent output level.

The IK Multimedia Brickwall Limiter is engineered specifically for mastering, delivering transparent and professional results that meet modern loudness standards. Its intuitive interface allows users to simply set the output ceiling and increase the input level to achieve the desired loudness quickly and efficiently. Although designed with mastering in mind, it also offers creative potential during mixing to enhance the boldness and impact of individual tracks.

This limiter is part of the T-RackS Custom Shop collection, a comprehensive suite of mixing and mastering tools. The platform provides access to a wide range of processors with options for trial use and flexible purchasing. Users benefit from seamless integration, making it easy to explore and apply high-quality modules that elevate the sound of any production.
