Press Play has released a free true-peak stereo limiter as part of the KVR Developer Challenge 2023.
Wave Breaker is designed to provide high levels of transparency and instant visual feedback for a seamless workflow. The plugin uses the design concepts and waveform display engine from Wave Observer oscilloscope plugin to create a mixing and mastering tool for audio professionals and enthusiasts alike.
Wave Breaker features
- Transparency: Precise true-peak detection, look-ahead audio analysis, and a 4x oversampled processing architecture allow you to preserve the natural character of your audio content, even at high gain reduction values.
- Sound adjustment: Fine-tune the limiter settings to bring out the character you want or add a touch of saturation to handle peaks more aggressively.
- Intuitive workflow: With a large input signal display, a gain reduction scope, true-peak level meters, and an automatically zoom-adjusted output waveform you can effortlessly configure all limiter parameters and visually evaluate results in real-time.
- Gain control: Adjust the input gain to drive the limiter at a desired threshold level and control the output gain using two different modes. You can choose between a manual compensation mode or target peak-level normalization.
- Customization: Choose from a range of color schemes and window sizes to suit your style and create a personalized workspace.
With support for VST/VST3 and AU plugin formats for Windows and Mac, Wave Breaker is available to download from the Press Play website and at KVR Audio’s DC 2023 page.
