Kill Overload, Not Your Mix
Master-bus limiting doesn't have to be expensive or complicated, and Blue Cat Audio's Protector is one of the plug-ins Sweetwater Sales Engineers freely point to as an example of this. This limiter plug-in may be light on CPU usage and latency, but it's a real heavyweight when it comes to knocking down peaks and spike that can ruin your mix. On the most basic level, Protector is a 0dB brickwall limiter that blocks overload, but you can dial in as much or as little coloration as you like to give your mix the perfect amount of extra punch. Whether you prefer peak, RMS, or loudness monitoring, it's all onboard Protector too, and MIDI control plus a sidechain input makes setting up ducking beautifully simple.
