The integration of dither adds another layer of mastering functionality that certainly doesn't hurt, and the extra controls of Advanced Mode greatly boost its flexibility, making it even more viable as a bus or even channel limiter. Invisible Limiter G2 retains all the transparency of its predecessor, doing an incredible job of squashing peaks without damaging the sound, even when pushed to relative extremes. You now get a choice of Meter Modes (Peak-RMS/VU, K-12, K-14 and K-20) with optional K-weighting the Reduction meter shows the long-term maximum on the meter itself, rather than numerically and the Output meter benefits from a far higher resolution than before.īoth meters can also be zoomed, although only to one fixed level.
Moved to the bottom of the GUI, the Reduction and Output Peak meters have been seriously upgraded from their previously simple strips. New in G2, the Dither function adds low-level noise (at 8-, 16 or 24-bit) to mask truncation errors when bouncing from a high bit depth to a lower one - 24-bit to 16-bit, say.įour dither types are available (although Truncate mode is really just there for 'with/without dither' comparison), and the Auto-Black option deactivates dither when the signal drops to a low level.

This is an exceptional limiter that professional engineers will get more than their money's worth out of.Īlso present in Easy Mode are the Unity Gain Monitor button, for compensatory auto-levelling of the output as the input gain is adjusted, and the Oversampling menu, offering eight settings up to a whopping 128x, with the CPU overhead rising commensurately. We like the handy incremental buttons by the Gain knob, enabling it to be nudged in 1dB, 0.1dB and 0.01dB steps.
The old Input Gain and Limit Level knobs have been renamed Gain and Ceiling, setting the input and maximum output levels, while the new DC Cut dial sets the cutoff frequency (0.1-200Hz) of a pre-limiter high-pass filter, preventing limiting of sub bass and other low-frequency signals.
