“The limiter gives you smooth gain reduction while maintaining a very natural sound” Kenny Clark

“The traditional True Peak Limiter has the disadvantage of making too many sound changes and losing the sense of dynamics. Still, in the streaming era, our mastering engineers have to use it. But with the advent of Bute Limiter, the world has changed. There is no distortion, it is transparent and can switch musical characters. Above all, there is no disadvantage. I feel that it is the first True Peak Limiter that can be used without loss of musicality. Highly recommend. Thank you for the great work.” Moroishi Masaiki

Ultra-Transparent Limiting
BUTE Limiter 2 delivers high fidelity, ultra-transparent True Peak Brickwall limiting with a streamlined and sleek user interface. BUTE's focus is on eliminating distortion while retaining the characteristics of your audio in a natural way.
Support for multiple workflows
BUTE Limiter 2 includes a Pre Gain to push or reduce the incoming signal’s volume before Limiting as well as Post Gain that will be applied after limiting.
The plugin can be configured to highlight either the limiter output or the overall output, that is limiter output with applied Post Gain. So whether you like to push the limiter via Pre Gain like a Maximiser to boost overall loudness without sacrificing dynamics or clarity, or limit your signal and then use Post Gain to make up for the change in volume - BUTE Limiter 2 provides you with a streamlined display for your workflow.

Comprehensive yet flexible UI

BUTE Limiter 2 features an interactive history view for examining True Peak, Gain Reduction, Threshold and output readings - choose to see an overview or zoom in to a particular part. If any True Peak overshoots are introduced via the Post-Gain functionality, BUTE Limiter 2 will flag them up in the history with warnings. The history view also supports re-metering via automatic DAW sync and will update the readings when the limiter settings are altered, showing how the new settings will affect your audio.
