The Precision Limiter is yet another indispensable UAD tool for your audio arsenal. Mode A is the default shape, suitable for most material, while Mode B can be particularly useful on minimal and/or acoustic program material, yielding a more subtle touch. Key features include user-adjustable Release or intelligent Auto Release, which allows for fast recovery–minimizing distortion and pumping–and a unique selectable Mode switch, which allows you to delicately tailor the at- tack shape and control the “presentation” for different material. And since we know how valuable good metering is, the plug-in can also be bypassed and used strictly as a high-resolution meter. This meter- ing allows the user to see what is happening to audio with a great deal of ac- curacy, with simultaneous RMS and Peak metering and adjustable Peak Hold. The Precision Limiter features comprehensive, high-resolution metering and conforms to the Bob Katz “K-System” metering specifications. To really be considered a professional limiter, the metering needs to be su- perb. Since the Precision Limiter is a colorless, transparent mastering limiter–no up- sampling is used, nor does the UA Precision Limiter pass audio through any filters–audio remains untouched unless the compressor is working, in which case only gain is affected. Both the attack and release curves are optimized for mastering, which minimizes aliasing. The easy- to-use Limiter achieves 100% attack within a 1.5ms look-ahead window, which prevents clipping and guarantees zero overshoot performance.

The Universal Audio Precision LimiterTM is a single-band, look-ahead, brick- wall limiter designed primarily for mastering with program material. Purchase plug-in, unlock via authrisation file, ready to go.
