Boz Digital Labs The Wall Brickwall Mastering Limiter Plug-In, Download
Boz Digital plug-ins mainly owe their existence to the endeavor of overcoming limitations of 3rd-party plug-ins that hit a wall (so to speak) when faced with complex audio tasks that require a subtle, multi-tiered approach, rather than single-handed brute force. While BDL plug-ins are one-a-kind, offering a unique approach to audio processing tasks, The Wall is a limiter, plain and simple-and therein lies its greatest strength. Its origin story is at once familiar and yet remarkably singular. Rather than waste another minute having countless hours of work undermined by the shortcomings of overly complex limiting plug-ins, Boz found it more expedient to design a limiter plug-in from the ground up. The goal was to create a user-friendly device that would achieve the results we all seek, but quickly and easily. It's kind of ironic that The Wall, which we're confident will become your go-to limiter, arose from the limitations of other limiters. Or maybe it's Alanis Morissette ironic . . . we're not sure, since it's more about complications and finding a means to overcome them without compromise in functionality or sonic integrity. To put it simply, The Wall is a brick-wall limiter designed to give you a fast and intuitive way to make mixes competitively loud without destroying their musicality and dynamics-and like all Boz Digital Labs plug-ins, that's not all it does.<b>The Wall-Cracking the Code</b>These days it's customary to see the waveform of a final mix look like a solid bar. Perhaps you prefer to deliver more dynamic mixes, but when you send a first mix for client approval, they expect to hear it sound like the final mastered version-which generally means loud. It follows that even a reference mix for the artist must compete with the loudness of commercially released tracks. Rather than have you second-guess yourself with a complicated limiter in order to maintain the balance of your mix, The Wall's elegantly simple controls not only provide the ability to tweak, judge, and compare efficiently and effectively, they provide the results you need in a breeze and make you look like a better engineer in the process. From a straight mastering standpoint, The Wall can make your mixes sound as loud as the competition without compromising all the hard work you've done to get your final version to the mastering stage.<b>Not just another brick wall in The Wall</b>Brick-wall limiting sounds like it should be an uncomplicated process. However, like most activities in audio, the steps and processes to achieve what should be direct and rational tend to be convoluted and counterintuitive. When all you want to hear is your mix gets louder with dynamic relationships remaining intact, it's never quite that simple. There are attack and release times to consider (which never seem to make any difference until you mess things up), as well as ratios, ceiling, look-ahead, window shapes, multi-band crossovers, expanders, gates, variable knee, and so on. Seriously, can...
