What it is
X-Limit is Solid State Logic's brickwall limiter and loudness maximizer for tracks and mix busses. It uses a standard-compliant True Peak algorithm with intelligent oversampling to catch inter-sample peaks before they cause distortion, and its built-in waveform visualizer shows exactly how the limiter is shaping your signal in real time.
Who it's for
Mixing and mastering engineers who want to push loudness without losing tonal character, especially anyone chasing that SSL-console sound on individual tracks or a stereo bus. It also suits producers finishing rough mixes who need a fast, musical way to control peaks before sending a track out.
Key features
- Four selectable limiter characters - Transparent, Glue, Punch, and Auto - for different tonal flavors
- True Peak limiting with intelligent oversampling catches inter-sample peaks other limiters miss
- Steering and ducking meters give visual feedback on how limiting affects the stereo image
- Variable release times, including SSL's Auto release mode, adapt to program material automatically
- Runs as AAX Native, AU, VST2, and VST3 on Mac and Windows, including native Apple Silicon support (requires an iLok account)
