LSP Begrenzer – Limiter plugin series

LSP Begrenzer – Limiter plugin series is a free limiter VST, LV2, Ladspa plugin developed by Linux Studio Plugins Project. Compatible OS(s): Linux.

This plugin implements a brick-wall limiter with flexible configuration. It prevents input monosignal from raising over the specified Threshold.

Attention: this plugin implements set of limiting modes, most of them are iterative. That means that CPU load may be not stable, in other words: the more work should be done, the more CPU resources will be used. Beware from extreme settings.

Create/edit EQ bands directly via lower parameter strip.

A/B comparison.

Adjustable graph scale (-5:5dB, -10:10dB, -20:20dB).

Use mouse-wheel to adjust band Q.

Hold Ctrl to “auto-listen” to the band.

Output gain dial.

LP10 CM features:

Fully adjustable phase for each EQ band.

Sweep smoothly ase from minimum phase (ie, normal digital EQ) to linear to inverse minimum phase.

Global linear phase and minimum phase buttons, for convenience.

Built-in stereo width adjustment (useful for mastering).

Standard peak/bell, 12dB low-pass and 12dB high-pass filters.

“Flex” filters: peak, notch, low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, low-shelf and high-shelf.

Smoothly adjust the slope of the Flex filters, from 6dB/octave up to 60dB/octave.

The full, paid-for versions of IIEQ Pro and LP10 offer the following additional features:

10 bands instead of 6.

Built-in spectrum analyser.

Stereo and mid/side operation.

Loudness

Loudness is a free eq and compressor VST plugin developed by WOK. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

WOK Loudness simulates the loudness button on old HiFi amps, which alters the frequency response curve to correspond roughly with the equal loudness characteristic of the ear at lower volumes.

The level of high and low frequencies is increased at low listening levels, to compensate for the fact that as the volume of audio decreases, the ears lower sensitivity to extreme high and low frequencies may cause these signals to fall below threshold. As a result audio material may seem to become ‘thin’ sounding at low volumes, losing bass and treble, the ‘Loudness compensation’ button (often just labelled ‘Loudness’ or ‘Loud’) is intended to rectify this situation.

Loudness is available for free as a 32-bit VST plugin for Windows (sometimes a nag-screen pops up).
