What it is

FOCUS is a dynamics processor from Stranis Audio that combines clipping, limiting, and tonal enhancement in one plugin. Instead of behaving like a conventional limiter, it uses a dedicated Focus control to identify and emphasize the most prominent transient and tonal content in a signal, boosting clarity and perceived loudness while keeping typical limiting artifacts in check.

Who it's for

Mixing and mastering engineers who want more loudness without the pumping or harshness that comes from pushing a limiter too hard.

Key features

• Combined clipping-and-limiting stage tuned for loudness with fewer artifacts
• Dedicated Focus control that brings out transient and tonal detail
• Available as VST3 and AU on Windows and macOS
• Debut release from Stranis Audio, with a spectral-dynamics processor already in development
