LVC-Audio updates Limited-Z to version 1.1.0

LVC-Audio has updated Limited-Z mastering limiter (free version) to version 1.1.0.

The free and paid versions of Limited-Z gets a new limiter mode, "Vintage Bus".

Limited-Z is a specialized and easy-to-use limiter, based on the foundation of being a capable look-ahead brickwall limiter suitable for final mixing or mastering. Limited-Z dynamically combines several unique limiting algorithms to provide transparent limiting on all audio sources.

Limited-Z is a free plugin, with a paid version that adds the following features:

- Selectable secondary metering that includes Input Level, estimated Distortion Level, and ISP meter.

- K-Metering of input and output levels.

- Linear-phase oversampling (2x, 4x, or 8x).

- Continually adjustable output margin control between 0 dB and -1.5 dB, and 0 dB and -10 dB for post-production.

- Adjustable X/Y controls for the Dynamic Algorithm settings for easily fine-tuning the limiter's overall sound and aggressiveness.

Klanghelm - DC1A 2.1.0 Win/Osx [FREE] 

Win/Osx| 32/64 Bit| Vst, AU, AAX, Rats

DC1A is an effortless character compressor.

DC1A is the little brother of the compression monster DC8C. I've taken a few of my favorite settings from DC8C and tried to make it work in a two control context. Sound wise it's comparable to the PUNCH mode in DC8C but offers a few additional features, such as negative ratio and stereo unlink. I've always wanted to do a compressor with just an input and output knob, a compressor that just works: gentle, faithful, from almost invisible, smooth leveling to heavy pumping with a nice crunchy saturation and punchy enough to treat drums with.

DC1A looks like a one trick pony. But don't get fooled by the lack of additional controls. You may be surprised on how many different material this little thing works. DC1A is heavily program dependent, so is the saturation.

Note: Since DC1A 2 has a new plugin ID and filename, you can use the original DC1A and the new one at the same time.

Klanghelm - IVGI - saturation & distortion Win/Osx [FREE] 

Win (VST, AAX) | Mac (AU, VST, AAX)

IVGI can deliver very soft and subtle saturation, that feels at home on the master buss. It is equally capable of very dense and dirty distortion effects to spice up single tracks. IVGI's base sound is comparable to the DESK mode in the big brother SDRR.

Just as SDRR , IVGI reacts dynamically to the input signal. Even the modeled fluctuations react dynamically and also change depending on the drive setting, so that it doesn't get in the way of the SOUND. Stereo tracks benefit from it's modeled crosstalk behavior.

Just as its big brother SDRR, IVGI features a Controlled Randomness, which determines the internal drift and variance inside the unit. It contributes to the liveliness and realness of IVGI's saturation character. To achieve this, all internal processes are modulated to some extent.

IVGI gives you a sensible amount of controls to manipulate the character of the saturation itself. It offers a unique ASYM MIX knob to alter the symmetry of the signal without affecting the harmonic content much.

IVGI also lets you alter the frequency dependency of the saturation with the RESPONSE control.

IVGI is internally calibrated to 0VU = -18dBFS.

IVGI is free! So try it out for yourself.

Shattered Glass Audio SGA1566 v1.0.8 Win/Osx [Free]

Shattered Glass Audio SGA1566 v1.0.8 Win/Osx [Free] 

Win32/64 Vst| Mac AU/VST

SGA1566 preamplifier is loosely based on a single channel all tube vintage preamplifier. 

To achieve the most authentic analog sound, the whole circuit is simulated in real time using the high performance circuit simulator. This level of sound fidelity comes at a price of high CPU utilization. For cases where such a CPU hit is prohibitive, we have added a model that is significantly less CPU intensive but slightly less accurate than the circuit simulation.

Use SGA1566 preamp to add warmth to a track, as a saturation compressor, or to add "dirt" with tube overdrive.

*Authentic analog sound through real-time high-performance circuit simulation.

*Preamp featuring two 12AX7 voltage amplification stages.

*CPU friendly model of the circuit.

*Two-band active Baxandall EQ that can be placed either at the beginning or at the end of the signal chain.

*Up to 4x oversampling.

*Mono or stereo processing mode.
