Elevate Is A New Mastering Limiter Plugin That Helps Boost Loudness

Elevate is a new mastering limiter plugin from Eventide and Newfangled Audio that is designed to help you achieve louder mixes with its multi-band limiter, human-ear EQ and powerful audio maximizer.

Features

• Analyzes and alters the gain, speed and transients of each filter band in real time.
• Includes presets by: APS Mastering, Matt Lange, Jeremy Lubsey, Eric Beam, ROCAsound, Chris Tabron and John McCaig.
• Automatically adapts the attack, release and look-ahead parameters for each filter band to greatly reduce “pumping” and breathing artifacts and perceived distortion.
• Preserves or emphasizes fast transients to avoid squashing your mix.
• Manipulates transients across the critical bands to preserve the attacks from kick drums, snares and cymbals, without affecting the entire mix.
• Uses linear phase auditory filters — based on the Mel Scale — to manipulate the audio in a way that is natural to your inner ear.
• Solo the output of one band (or a number of bands) to hone in on problem frequencies, tweak transients or alter gain.
• Use the Auto Output Level feature to compare the limited signal to non-limited signals with the same amount of gain allowing you to easily hear what impact the processing is having on your sound.
• Use the Spectral Clipper to overdrive the final output without affecting the tonal balance or allowing the signal to get “tubby.” Perfect for a more aggressive sound.
• Six different types of metering allow you to keep an eye on every aspect of your output audio.

Something that’s awesome about Elevate is that it offers 26 different filter bands, allowing you to adjust the limiter’s transient response in great detail. Also, it comes with many presets created by professional audio engineers including Matt Lange and Jeremy Lubsey.

Elevate, available in VST, AAX and AU, is currently priced at $99 until October 31, 2017, and you can visit the Eventide website to learn more.
