RMS Level Limiter

Control perceived loudness, not just peaks.

RMS Level Limiter is a stereo dynamics plug-in that controls average signal energy using an RMS-based detector. It naturally stabilizes drums, bass, vocals, loops, buses, and full mixes without reacting only to short transients.

A separate Peak Safety stage catches instantaneous peaks that remain after RMS processing.

Features

• Stereo-linked RMS limiting
• Adjustable Attack and Release
• Three RMS Window modes:
  • FAST (50 ms): Drums, bass, and percussion
  • MID (300 ms): Vocals and general processing
  • SLOW (600 ms): Pads, buses, and mastering
• Independent Safe Level peak ceiling
• Separate RMS GR and Safe GR monitoring
• Real-time RMS history graph
• Stereo RMS and Peak meters
• Input Gain, Output Gain, Mix, and Bypass

Formats

• Windows: 64-bit VST3, Windows 10 / 11
• macOS: AU / Audio Unit

Safe Level provides sample-peak protection and does not guarantee True Peak compliance.
