Get the Clean Sound of a Premium Brickwall Limiter

The Precision Limiter plug-in is a single-band, look-ahead brickwall limiter made primarily for use with program material. Easy to use, the Precision Limiter plug-in is a colorless, transparent mastering limiter. No upsampling is used, nor does the Precision Limiter pass audio through any filters — audio remains untouched unless the compressor is working, in which case, only gain is affected.

    Precision Limiter: Flawless Operation, Urgent UI Update Required

    The Precision Limiter is absolutely indispensable to my workflow. Its operation is flawless, offering a level of simplicity that belies its robustness. It's straightforward yet entirely trustworthy. Furthermore, the inclusion of a dedicated True Peak limiting feature is highly advisable, as it is crucial for adhering to current international loudness standards and would significantly enhance the limiter's professional utility. However, I believe all of Precision's current plugins are somewhat underestimated due to their user interface (GUI). Their other creations, too, possess significant market competitiveness and deserve re-evaluation, provided their GUIs are adequately modernized. I feel it's crucial for not just the Limiter, but the entire Precision product line, to take a proactive step towards receiving the recognition they genuinely deserve.

    It really is a brick wall

    Every time I try something else I end up right back here with the UAD Precision Limiter. It sounds great and does what it is supposed to do… just like hardware.

    It was the finishing touch I was looking for.

    I've worked with so many limiters and they all give different flavors, but I was always looking for one that would do what I heard in my head. Something that would make the recording sound what I imagined as production finished. This did that very quickly with the right tone and transparency I was looking for.

    I regret not getting this years ago.

    It's less expensive than some other plugins so it might be easy to under value and overlook, but this should be a staple in anyones collection.

    Total classic. It's dumb not to get it...Really regret not having it years ago.
