Oxford Limiter | Limiter Plugin | VST, AU, AAX

A One-Of-A-Kind Limiter Plugin

Having crafted and refined your mix, join the growing number of professionals who’ve chosen the Oxford Limiter to deliver maximum loudness, density and presence - whilst retaining the kind of clarity and transient detail that conventional brick-wall limiting can’t.

The Oxford Limiter is a true peak limiter that offers recently enhanced levels of processing and metering accuracy. The result is that you get to see and automatically correct otherwise invisible reconstruction overloads - and conform to the accepted industry ITU-R BS.1770-4 standard.

Whether you’re after the Oxford Limiter's hallmark transparency or heavier creative effects, its advanced look-ahead processing and unique Enhance function provide the sample-value limiting and musical boost needed to reliably avoid clipping and confidently increase apparent loudness.

The price of the v3 Limiter hasn’t changed from that of the original plugin and the upgrade is free to registered users of the Native/HDX Generation 5 (G5) products. If that’s you, then download the new installer here.
