Bettermaker Mastering Limiter 2.0
Stereo Mastering Limiter with 100% Analog Signal Path, Manual and Intelligent Release Modes, Touchscreen Interface, and Variable Color
Your Desert-island Mastering Limiter
The Bettermaker Mastering Limiter, as does all the company's gear, features a pure analog signal path — plus full digital recall. You have 399 cells for your own presets, which you can recall instantly with one touch. You can save your settings to the internal memory, and (here's where Bettermaker really breaks away from the pack) in your DAW project. That's right; the Mastering Limiter's USB link lets you use it just as you would use a plug-in! The Mastering Limiter is equipped with manual and intelligent release modes, variable coloration, and an innovative, intuitive touchscreen to control it all. The Mastering Limiter's two color modules can be internally equalized so you can, for instance, punch up the odd-order harmonics in the low end, and sweeten the high end with airy even-order harmonics. Add in a 31-band FFT analyzer and cutting-edge touchscreen metering, and you've got what many engineers consider their desert-island mastering tool. Take it from us: if you want "radio-ready" mixes, the Bettermaker Mastering Limiter is essential kit.
The sonic integrity of analog, "in the box" speed and convenience
Bettermaker's approach seems simple: cherry pick the best of vintage and modern circuit topologies and combine them in products that offer the sonic integrity of analog with the speed and workflow conveniences of working "in the box." The reality is that not all companies have the design chops to pull it off consistently. Bettermaker does. With the Mastering Limiter, they took a fresh approach to classic dynamics processing. Modern, high-spec components were selected for long-term reliability and to help maintain transient response and the low noise floor required for today's recording practices. Where possible they increased gain resolution and frequency response to ensure maximum flexibility. Subjective listening tests played a big part in the development of this amazing limiter. And the results speak for themselves.
