Naturl Audio have released AL-1, available for $229.00. You can also Rent-To-Own AL-1 for $22.90 per month.
The AL-1 Limiter has gained a reputation in the music production world as a “hidden gem” for those seeking a clean, transparent, and incredibly musical peak limiter. Unlike limiters that aim for aggressive “brickwall” pumping, the AL-1 is designed to preserve the transient integrity and “air” of a mix.
The standout feature of the AL-1 is its look-ahead algorithm, which is tuned to avoid the audible distortion often associated with heavy limiting. It focuses on maintaining the stereo image and the punch of the low end, even when pushing for competitive loudness.
- Intelligent Look-Ahead: It analyzes incoming peaks before they hit the ceiling, allowing for smoother gain reduction curves.
- Variable Release: The release timing is often described as “program-dependent,” meaning it reacts differently to a short snare hit versus a sustained bass note.
- Oversampling: High-quality internal oversampling helps eliminate inter-sample peaks (ISP) and aliasing artifacts.
- Low CPU Footprint: Despite its high-fidelity processing, it is remarkably efficient, making it viable for both individual tracks and the master bus.
