Boost 11 Peak Limiter
Figure 366. Boost 11 Peak Limiter
The Boost 11 Peak Limiter is a transparent peak limiting and volume maximizing plug-in for mixing
and mastering purposes; it is designed to reduce peak levels without coloring the sound. Boost 11
uses a “look-ahead” limiter algorithm to prevent output clipping and PDR (Program Dependent
Release) to minimize pumping (audible fluctuations of the volume) and maximize the loudness.
“Look-ahead” means the limiter analyzes the audio input ahead of time by delaying the output for
approximately 1.5ms. Boost 11 supports sampling rates up to 192 kHz, mono and stereo operation,
and double precision processing.
Boost 11’s features include:
• Look-ahead peak detection prevents clipping
• Program Dependent Release minimizes pumping
• Dynamic waveform displays of input vs. output
• Stereo peak and RMS input/output meters
• Operation at sampling rates up to 192 kHz
• 64-bit double precision signal path
• VST Automation
