LoudMax is a Look-Ahead Brickwall Loudness Maximizer with a clean transparent sound. It is designed to retain the original character of the music as much as possible even at high compression levels.

Main range of application:

• Audio Mastering.
• Output Limiter/Maximizer for web radio stations.

Controls:

• One slider for threshold, one for the output level.
• Meters for input, output and gain reduction in relation to the desired threshold.

Features:

• Supported Samplerates: 2kHz - 384kHz.
• Latency, Look-Ahead and Attack Time: 1.25ms.
• Release Time: Automatic - depending on the input signal.
• Possible Overdrive without audible distortion: 740dB.
• Low CPU usage.

New in v1.15

• Enhanced peak detector algorithm.
• Limiter curves optimized.
• Improved sound impression.

New in v1.14

• New Fader link control.
• Improved limiter algorithm.
• Optimized internal parameters

New in v1.13

• Enhanced limiter algorithm
• Better transient clarity
• Improved consistency

New in v1.08

• Latency will be reported correctly to the host. There was a bug in the last version that could lead to a difference of one sample.
• Improved peak-hold algorithm. Higher precision at short bass peaks, like e.g. from a bass drum.
• Slightly longer release time at input material with a high loudness or/and a long sustain.
