X-Limit
The deal
$15 at KVR Marketplace (down from $49). Deal ends August 24, 2026.
What it is
X-Limit is a limiter plugin from Solid State Logic designed to add loudness and punch to tracks, buses, and full mixes without crushing dynamics or introducing audible distortion. It ships with four selectable character modes - Transparent, Glue, Punch, and Auto - so the limiting curve can be tailored to the source material rather than relying on one general-purpose algorithm. True Peak limiting and dedicated steering and ducking meters give visual feedback on how hard the limiter is working and how much the stereo image is shifting.
Who it's for
Mixing and mastering engineers who need a dependable final-stage limiter for pushing a track louder without smearing transients or collapsing the stereo field. Also useful for producers who want genre-specific loudness behavior - Glue for cohesive bus compression, Punch for retaining transient snap, or Auto when they'd rather let the plugin adapt.
Key features
- Four selectable limiting characters - Transparent, Glue, Punch, and Auto - for different mixing and mastering scenarios
- True Peak limiting keeps output within broadcast-safe ceilings
- Real-time steering and ducking meters visualize stereo image changes as the limiter works
- Gain lock and a mix control let you dial in exactly how much of the limited signal blends with the dry source
