A cutting-edge intelligent mastering maximiser and limiter, SSG Audio Loudness PRO is intended to elevate the quest for transparent loudness. Digital signal processing (DSP) methods in this field have advanced fairly slowly over the past few decades, yielding only modest gains. By combining the unwavering quality of a clipper and limiter.
The main technological idea behind the plugin is to do away with the constant trade-off between limiting and clipping. Sharp transients are flawlessly handled by a conventional clipper, but sustained notes are immediately distorted, imparting an unpleasant digital crunch.
Conversely, a limiter ruthlessly “chomps” on drums while processing sustain gently, depriving the mix of weight and power. Using built-in AI, Loudness PRO rapidly modifies the ratio between these two processing types thousands of times per second, analysing the audio input in real time at a speed that is entirely impossible to achieve through manual automation. This eliminates the need for cloud services or generative algorithms and enables you to create an unprecedentedly loud, crisp, and punchy master file locally on your computer.
Key Features:
- Real-time sample management with intelligence. With sample-by-sample accuracy, built-in AI completely regulates the clipper/limiter chain’s architecture, balance, and settings, adjusting processing to each track moment.
- The highest volume possible without loss. With the plugin, you can maintain the inherent dynamics of instruments and the crisp attack of drums while achieving a rich, competitive commercial volume level.
- Complete transparency of sound. The device avoids audible distortion during sustain and releases the final mix from the effects of “pumping” and constriction because of dynamic algorithm switching.
- Local processing that is independent. Neural networks are not trained using your audio files, and the plugin operates in real time right within your DAW without the need for initial offline analysis.
- An interface that is simple and effective. By eliminating the need to spend hours implementing intricate automation, the tool enables you to obtain clean, predictable outcomes in a matter of seconds in both completely manual and automatic modes.
