Limit - Acon Digital

Product Description

Limit by Acon Digital is a transparent limiter audio-processing plugin used in music mixing and mastering to control and increase the loudness of a track without introducing distortion or unwanted coloration.

What It Does

• Limiting: It prevents the audio signal from exceeding a set maximum level (a “ceiling”), ensuring no clipping or distortion occurs even when the sound is pushed louder.

• Transparent Sound: Designed to be very clean and neutral — it doesn’t noticeably change tone, punch, or stereo image, making it suitable for both delicate mix-bus control and final mastering.

• Look-Ahead: Includes an intelligent look-ahead feature (0–30 ms) so it can anticipate peaks and reduce distortion by reacting before sudden loud sounds hit.

• Two-Stage Processing: Uses a pre-compressor stage followed by a peak limiting algorithm for accurate control.

• True Peak Limiting: Up to 4× oversampling lets it catch inter-sample peaks that might otherwise cause clipping in digital audio.

Why Use It

Limiters like Limit are essential in professional workflows because they let you make your mix louder and safer for distribution (streaming, broadcast, etc.) while keeping dynamic integrity intact — which is crucial for mastering engineers and producers aiming for competitive loudness without artifacts.

Platform & Formats

Limit works as a plugin in VST, VST3, AU, and AAX formats on both Windows and macOS, and is often bundled within Acon Digital’s Mix & Mastering Suite. It’s currently being offered free for a limited time (until March 1, 2026).

In short: Limit is Acon Digital’s clean, professional limiter plugin for controlling peak levels and boosting perceived loudness without altering your sound color or adding distortion — a key tool in finishing audio mixes.
