NUSofting claim PK3 is one of the most advanced mastering peak limiters available today, with a variable look-ahead time window providing "unmatched flexibility in its class". The state-of-the-art algorithm behind the processor is the result of long research and years of experience, and offers clean peak limiting without audible distortion.
Thanks to its design PK3 also offers an "analog" feel similar to a warm studio compressor with all the accuracy of the 64-bit precision of a digital limiter. No compromise between the sound quality and the CPU usage have been made, except for some clever optimizations that are necessary to get this kind of limiter to work in real-time. No matter how loud the input signal, PK3 will always keep the peaks on the limiting threshold.
Applications for PK3:
- Clean clip-limiting when required.
- Mastering and volume maximizing.
- Classic extreme pumping effects.
- Safe limiter for broadcasting.
PK3 is available as a VST effect for Windows and costs EU€40 (US$45). A demo version is available. For more information, detailed instructions and tricks on using PK3 refer to the user's guide available on-line.
