Orra Audio have released Orra Cream Limiter, available at the intro price of $29.00, increasing to $49.00 after the promotion. The offer ends July 25th.
Orra Cream Limiter is a true-peak brick-wall mastering limiter with a multiband engine, so your master gets loud without pumping or inter-sample overs. Scout dials in a mastered starting point in one click, Auto Loudness lands you on a streaming target, and Cream adds the warmth.
The output never exceeds the ceiling you set, enforced on the true-peak level. It oversamples internally and catches the inter-sample peaks a plain limiter misses, the ones that reappear as clipping once your file is encoded to MP3 or AAC.
With TRUE PEAK on, the ceiling you set is the ceiling the streaming platform actually sees. A default −0.1 dBTP is loud out of the box; −1 dBTP leaves headroom for lossy codecs.
The engine splits the audio into frequency bands and limits each on its own. A loud kick only ducks the low band, so it can not modulate your mids and highs, which removes the pumping a broadband limiter produces.
Every band gets to use its own headroom, which is what lets a master get loud before it sounds squashed. Per-band recovery keeps the low end from pumping while letting the top stay dense.
Cream is a per-band saturation applied after the band split, so its harmonics get true-peak-limited too. One curve family tapered across the spectrum: tube-style warmth in the lows smoothing to tape-style softening up top.
Because it is peak-normalised, Cream adds loudness, the waveform fattens and the master gets louder without pushing the limiter harder. At 0% it is fully bypassed and bit-clean.
Features include:
- True-peak brick-wall limiting, streaming-safe to the ceiling you set
- Multiband engine limits each band on its own, so a loud kick never pumps the mix
- Cream: a per-band saturation, tube-warm lows to tape-smooth highs, that adds loudness
- Scout listens to your mix and dials in a mastered starting point in one click
- Auto Loudness drives the master onto a LUFS target and holds it, true-peak safe
- Four limiter Styles: Transparent, Punch, Warm, and Smash
- Honest EBU R128 loudness metering plus a BS.1770 true-peak meter
- Scope view draws your waveform against the live gain-reduction trace
- Up to 16x oversampling, with latency that never changes as you work
- Clean A/B with Gain Match, DELTA monitoring, and per-target dither
Orra Cream Limiter is available to PC and Mac users (VST3, AU and AAX).
