Splice has recently added a new multi-band pre-clipper and dual-stage brickwall limiter by Laidback Luke to its Rent-to-Own platform.

The Laidback Limiter is an extremely powerful tool to maximize the loudness of your tracks.

One of the industry secrets of mastering engineers around the globe is the process of pre-clipping. This essentially entails pre-processing a track’s transients with a clipper or saturator to create headroom for the final brickwall limiting stage. The Laidback Limiter makes this process as easy as can be, expanding on this technique by integrating a unique multiband clipper with perfect auto-gain. Combined with the final brickwall limiter, this makes the Laidback Limiter the perfect plugin to maximize the loudness of your tracks.

Laidback Limiter features

  • Multiband pre-clipping with perfect auto-gain.
  • Clippers with transient preservation and smoothing.
  • Phase-aligned dry/wet mix for the multiband pre-clipping stage.
  • Loudness maximizer with auto-lookahead and auto-release.
  • Peak, LUFS, and gain reduction meters for precise visual feedback.
  • 1x / 2x / 4x oversampling to prevent aliasing.
  • Intuitive and easy-to-use GUI.
  • 23 presets, including Laidback Luke’s ‘LBL Secret Sauce’, ‘Show Me Love’, ‘Leave The Wave Behind’, ‘Turbo-lence’, ‘Whistle’, and ‘Dirty Talk’.

The Laidback Limiter (VST/VST3, AU and AAX) is available with a Rent-to-Own plan of $9.99 USD/month. You can try it free for 3 days.
