BUTE Limiter 2

"The limiter gives you smooth gain reduction while maintaining a very natural sound”

Kenny Clark. Re-recording Mixer / Sound Designer

“With the advent of Bute Limiter there is no distortion, it is transparent and can switch musical characters ... it is the first True Peak Limiter that can be used without loss of musicality. Highly recommend."

Moroishi Masaiki. Mastering Engineer

Smooth, Ultra-Transparent True Peak Brickwall Limiting with support for Multiple Workflows.

Note: This product is the Stereo version. The Surround Sound version of Bute Limiter is also available.

Ultra-Transparent Limiting

BUTE Limiter 2 delivers “high fidelity, ultra-transparent true peak brickwall limiting with a streamlined and sleek user interface”.

Comprehensive yet Flexible UI

Whether you’re looking for an in-depth analysis of your master or a compact readout - BUTE Limiter 2 can do it all.

BUTE Limiter 2 Features a resizable ​history view​ which lets you interactively examine true peak, gain reduction, threshold and output readings - you can choose to see an overview of your whole master or zoom in to a particular part. If any true peak overshoots are introduced via the post gain functionality, BUTE Limiter 2 will flag them prominently in the history with warnings. The history also supports re-metering via automatic DAW sync and will get updated if you change your limiter settings so you can see how your new settings affect your audio.

Support for Multiple Workflows

BUTE Limiter 2 includes a ​Pre Gain​ to push or reduce the incoming signal’s volume before Limiting as well as Post Gain​ that will be applied after limiting.

The plugin can be configured to highlight either the limiter output or the overall output, that is limiter output with applied Post Gain. So whether you like to push the limiter via Pre Gain like a maximiser, or limit your signal and then use Post Gain to make up for the change in volume - BUTE Limiter 2 provides you with a streamlined display for your workflow.
