LM1V Limiter Review
Let’s look at one of the best priced and one of the simplest-to-use limiters – LM1V from Mellowmuse.
The LM1V Limiter by Mellowmuse is a highly impressive piece of equipment (that’s why it’s featured on our best VST list).
As an analogue modelled brick-wall limiter, it offers 8x oversampling and inter-sample peak detection, which allows for high loudness levels with minimal distortion. The results achieved with LM1V are always incredibly musical
In the test
One of the standout features of this limiter is the separate attack, release and stereo link controls, which give a wide range of settings.
Whether you’re looking for near clipping or smooth limiting, LM1V delivers without any excessive pumping or artefacts.
Its inter-sample peak detection also ensures that output levels are kept firmly in place, making it an ideal choice for both individual tracks and mix buses.
The LM1V Limiter boasts a low distortion multi-stage design, with variable attack from 0 to 10 ms and variable release from 0 to 2 secs.
The input gain can be adjusted from 0 to 20dB, and the output ceiling can be set from -20 to 0dB.
The stereo unlink function is a great addition, as it allows for individual control of the left and right channels.
With 64bit internal processing and 8x oversampling, the LM1V Limiter is a top-notch choice for any audio engineer.
In conclusion, the LM1V Limiter by Mellowmuse is a versatile and highly effective tool that should be a part of every recording studio’s arsenal.
Its combination of advanced features and excellent sound quality make it a standout product in its category.
