Fuse Audio Labs has launched Ocelot Clipper, a new loudness maximizer plugin available for both Windows and Mac users. This plugin is designed to enhance audio production by offering advanced features that ensure high-quality sound output while maintaining ease of use.
The Ocelot Clipper is equipped with adaptive limiting capabilities, which allow it to intelligently manage audio levels. Unlike traditional limiters that merely increase volume, this plugin uses sophisticated psychoacoustic analysis to determine the optimal moments to limit or hold back. This ensures that mixes remain clean and punchy, even as loudness is maximized. The intelligent approach of the Ocelot Limiter helps users achieve higher levels without the typical artifacts associated with conventional limiters.
A notable feature of the Ocelot Clipper is its switchable soft clipper, which is designed to handle isolated peaks at the beginning of the processing chain. By reducing the workload on the limiter, this feature allows for louder outputs with minimal pumping and exceptional transparency. When pushed further, the soft clipper adds a subtle aggressiveness, resulting in a punchy and polished sound without introducing noticeable distortion.
The true peak feature of the Ocelot Limiter is another significant addition, ensuring precise level control by complying with the ITU-R BS.1770 standard. This mode anticipates inter-sample peaks that could lead to distortion during analog conversion, thus maintaining clean audio that stays accurately below the threshold level. This feature is particularly valuable for mastering and other tasks where pristine sound quality is essential.
Five Selectable Algorithms
The Ocelot Clipper offers five selectable algorithms, allowing it to adapt precisely to any source material. This flexibility provides tailored responses from both the limiter and the soft clipper. Additionally, the plugin includes 1:1 and delta listen features, enabling users to fine-tune for optimal signal integrity. The inclusion of noise shaping, dithering, and quantization further enhances its versatility, making the Ocelot Limiter a comprehensive tool for adding power to tracks and masters.
The Ocelot Series
The Ocelot Series is designed to stand out in the crowded market of audio plugins. These tools are intended to become essential components of any audio professional’s workflow, offering powerful features and intuitive user interfaces. Built with cutting-edge DSP technology, the Ocelot Series provides low CPU usage and zero or low latency, making them indispensable for modern studio environments.
The Ocelot Clipper is currently available at an introductory discount of 58% off, with the promotion valid until March 21st.
