Optimize your mix with 5 different limiting modes
The MM-1 includes five different limiting modes: Transparent, Loud, Punch, Wide, and De-ess. Each of these modes exhibits its own unique flavor and is easily dialed in using an array of intuitive controls. Fine-tune your master's character with the Amount knob, use the Limiter Gain knob to control the amount of gain reduction, then tweak the Parallel Mix knob until you find the happy medium between dry signal and dynamic control. Whatever sound you're reaching for, the MM-1 places you firmly in the driver's seat.
The sound you've heard on zillions of major records
Softube's MM-1 was carefully designed by experienced mastering engineers using the gold-standard DS1-MK3 as a foundation. It relies on processes that react when you twist the Amount knob, intelligently tweaking the plug-in's filtering, compression, de-essing, and other processing. At Sweetwater, we've found it nearly impossible to make the MM-1 sound bad, even at extreme settings. This plug-in is the real deal — it's even officially licensed and endorsed by Daniel Weiss himself!
