AtkAudio has launched Speech-Limiter, a new audio plugin designed to manage speech levels effectively. Available for both Windows and Mac, this plugin is offered as a free download, providing users with a practical tool for audio processing.
The atkSpeechLimiter plugin is compatible with AAX, AU, and VST3 formats, making it versatile for various digital audio workstations. It features a classic lookahead audio limiter, which is essential for maintaining consistent audio peak levels. Users can adjust input gain, threshold, and output ceiling to suit their specific needs. Additionally, the plugin includes gain reduction metering, allowing for precise control over audio dynamics.
One of the standout features of atkSpeechLimiter is its wideband de-esser or high-frequency limit mode. This functionality is particularly useful for controlling sibilance in vocal recordings, ensuring clarity and smoothness in the final output. The plugin supports up to 64 channels, accommodating complex audio projects with ease.
While atkSpeechLimiter is versatile enough to handle various types of audio material, it is specifically optimized for human voice applications. A recommended approach is to use two instances of atkSpeechLimiter in sequence, with the second instance set to de-esser mode. This setup effectively manages sibilance after initial limiting, providing a polished vocal sound.
The plugin is available for download from AtkAudio’s product page, which redirects users to a GitHub page for the actual download. Although the plugin is free, users have the option to support the developers through donations via PayPal. This gesture allows users to contribute to the ongoing development and maintenance of the plugin.
The atkSpeechLimiter is available as a free download with no expiry date.
