A Brick Wall for Your Main Bus
Blue Cat's Protector is a 0dB stereo brickwall limiter with adjustable dynamic response. It usually finds its place on your DAW's master bus to protect your audio output against overshoot, limit overall volume and improve perceived loudness, thanks to a very transparent frequency response and its search capabilities.
Typical applications: main output protection, main bus limiting, volume maximization, overrun peak monitoring, distortion, clipping.

Detailed description
Despite its very simple control set, it offers a wide variety of sounds and is also suitable as a range limiter for more creative effects such as distortion, pumping or heavy limiting.
Its large colored peak and RMS meters and custom dynamics histogram provide premium visual feedback and make it the perfect tool for monitoring and controlling dynamics on your bus teacher. You can also check in real time the volume increase achieved with the limiter.
In addition to its powerful dynamic processing features, and like most of our plug-ins. Ins, Blue Cat's Protector also offers a unique side-chain capability, thanks to its MIDI CC output. This unique technique not only allows sidechain limiting, but also parameter modulation: control any parameter from any plug-in to create powerful sidechain effects in real time.
