AXELL SIGNATURE · MASTERING LIMITER
Axell Master
Loud, clean masters that survive the streaming codecs.
WINDOWS · LINUX · VST3 · TRUE PEAK · EBU R128 · REAL CODEC CHECK · UP TO 16x
Loud masters that stay clean - even after Spotify and YouTube encode them. A 16x oversampled clipper into a true-peak limiter, a broadcast-standard loudness meter, and a live check of your master through the real streaming codecs, with SAFE to keep it from clipping after the encode.
01 WHY IT'S DIFFERENT
Five reasons, all measured.
Streaming-safe, proven
after SAFE: 0 clipped samples through Opus, Vorbis, AAC and MP3 on 9 loud rap masters.
A ceiling it actually holds
worst -1.017 dBTP at a -1 dBTP ceiling on mixes driven +12 to +14 dB, measured by an independent reconstruction.
Clean bass under heavy limiting
40-50 Hz at 6 dB of limiting: -139 dB THD+N (Transparent).
Made for vocals too
VOICE HOLD and ESS HOLD keep pauses and esses where they belong on a vocal bus.
16 % lighter in 4.0.3
22 % on Windows - byte-for-byte the same sound.
Every figure comes from the plugin's own test suites and published benchmarks — the full measurements, the method and every version's history are on GitHub.
02 A CLOSER LOOK
Every screen, every mode.
