Brickwall Limiter

Steinberg

Where to get itIncluded with Cubase. It is part of that DAW, not a separate download.steinberg.net

Brickwall Limiter is a peak-limiting plugin that prevents output levels from exceeding a set threshold with minimal audible artifacts thanks to its fast attack time. It features separate metering for input, output, and gain reduction, and introduces 1 ms of latency. Designed for reducing occasional peaks, it should be positioned at the end of the signal chain before dithering.
