Key Features
Sonible Smart:Limit is an AI-powered limiter plugin, designed to deliver transparent limiting processing to your tracks. Take the stress away from limiting and let the intelligent AI processing of Smart:Limit lift your tracks to a professional loudness standard, without compromising on quality. With comprehensive controls and parameters, with Smart:Limit you can select a genre-based profile or compare your track against many popular streaming services to ensure that you hit the requirements of loudness and dynamics in order to be competitive. With automatic parametrization in seconds, Smart:Limit will revolutionise your workflow in the studio.
More than just a limiter plugin, Smart:Limit uses AI technology to give you extensive loudness and dynamics monitoring, offering visual representations of your source against parameters such as distortion and clipping levels. It will also provide you with interactive visual guides to help you make the right decisions for your tracks including a Quality Check to ensure all targets are met before you export your track.
A true-peak limiter, Smart:Limit is capable of finding the blind spots of your track in order to let your mix breathe. When automatic parameter adjustment isn't quite hitting the spot, Sonible Smart:Limit comes supplied with four unique sound-shaping tools to sculpt your track just the way you like it.

A new way to limit your tracks or mixes. Take the mystique out of limiting and mastering limiters and take advantage of newly designed processing and advanced AI analysis. Smart:Limit is about the results and achieving them quickly by using the AI technology to analyse your signals characteristic and determining what the effect of limiting will have on the sound. With real-time information and feedback on the loudness and dynamics of your track against competitive market genres or specific user uploaded reference tracks, you can create profiles that will automatically (or manually) suggest limiter settings to get the best results for your tracks. With Smart:Limit, your tracks will have a much more cohesive sound, where each instrument or sound is identifiable with a space to breathe.
Built with intelligent AI processing, Smart:Limit also provides you with a safety net in the Quality Check section of the plugin. Here, Sonible Smart:Limit will check for problematic parameters and provide interactive hints on how to tweak them before committing to your project. Working together with your profile, this is how Smart:Limit determines if your track will be competitive against the standards set by other songs in your genre or against the streaming service of your choice.
Four unique sound tools inside of Smart:Limit allows you to customise the sound to your exact specifications for the project you're working on. The 'style' control allows you to freely sweep between soft and hard limiting, excellent for adjusting the transient response between different genres of music from Rock to Jazz. Saturation adds a flavourful, subtle warmth to your sound to give it a vintage analog tape roundness. Naturally, adding saturation itself is a great way to smooth out harsh transients by adding very light overdriven harmonics. Next, the 'balance' control is an extremely functional and simple spectral widener. Using the 'balance' control is perfect for spreading the sides of your track and pushing it to the limits, making room for each instrument within the spectrum, ensuring your limiting becomes more definable. The 'balance' control is based on Sonible's AI-powered EQ, the Smart:EQ 3. Lastly, the 'bass control' dial is as you would expect, adding a bass boost post-limit to bring back some lost low-end from hard limiting or simply to add a final stage of sub that enhances your track.
Smart in name, smart in application. Smart:Limit has been designed using intelligent AI processing which automatically detects limiting parameters to help you achieve better masters, all within seconds. When in the studio, time is a commodity that can't be afforded to be wasted. With this in mind, let Smart:Limit do the work for you and speed up your workflow tenfold.
Choose a genre-based profile or upload a reference track to let Smart:Limit analyse your track against your desired characteristics. It really is as simple as letting Smart:Limit do the work, but of course like all good plugins, Sonible Smart:Limit lets you take control and adjust manually or with a combination of manual and automatic.
More than just a limiter plugin, Smart:Limit gives you an array of tools to help make better decisions in your processing. Within the Loudness Monitoring section, you can expand the plugin to show extensive information on loudness and dynamics. This gives you tips and targets with visual guidance regarding the standards of your track against genre-specific songs and even against mainstream streaming services. Be confident in the decisions you are making and be competitive within your desired market with Smart:Limit.
