Are you looking for a mastering tool that will allow you to achieve maximum loudness without sacrificing quality? Maxwell Smart by Lively Audio is exactly what you need. This transparent true peak limiter and loudness maximizer with a look-ahead function is designed for clarity and efficiency, making it ideal for the final stage of mixing and mastering.
Maxwell Smart effectively increases overall loudness while preserving dynamics and avoiding distortion. It is special due to its approach to inter-sample peaks (ISPs) – those “invisible” peaks that can cause clipping in the analog domain. The plugin uses unique 4x ISP detection, which is effective but doesn’t create artifacts or overload the CPU, unlike traditional oversampling.
Key Advantages of Maxwell Smart
Unsurpassed Transparency
The plugin provides clean and transparent limiting, allowing you to achieve high loudness without a “pumping” effect or aggression. The look-ahead function helps to process peaks smoothly.
Intelligent ISP Detection
Thanks to 4x ISP detection, Maxwell Smart effectively controls inter-sample peaks, ensuring the signal is suitable for playback on any system without the risk of clipping. This technology has no disadvantages of oversampling – no artifacts, minimal CPU load.
Professional Standards Compliance
The plugin complies with international true peak detection standards, such as ITU-R BS.1770-4, making it a reliable tool for professional use.
Simplicity and Efficiency
With intuitive controls, you’ll quickly adjust the plugin to achieve the best result.
