What it is

The Weiss MM-1 is a mastering maximizer by Softube, directly based on Daniel Weiss's legendary hardware unit - licensed by the man himself. It uses the same algorithms as the original digital hardware to deliver precise loudness maximization without crushing the life out of your mix. It's a professional-grade limiter that focuses on preserving dynamics and musicality rather than just hitting loud numbers.

Who it's for

Producers and mixing engineers who want a transparent, trustworthy limiter for final-stage mastering. If you're tired of limiters that add pumping or harshness at higher gain reduction, this one is built around preventing exactly that.

Key features

• Five limiting modes - Transparent, Loud, Punch, Wide, and De-ess - cover most mastering scenarios without menu-diving
• An intelligent processing chain handles filtering, compression, and de-essing automatically as you push the Amount control
• A Mix knob lets you blend the limited signal with the dry signal for parallel-style limiting
• Supports all major formats (AU, VST, VST3, AAX) on both Mac and Windows, including Apple Silicon natively
