IQ-Limiter promises to "just make it loud!"
New mastering limiter has a simple control set

It might not be subtle, but Hofa-Plugins' claim that its new IQ-Limiter will "just make it loud!" is bound to strike a chord with some people.
This mastering limiter is designed to resemble an exclamation mark, and features the bare minimum of controls. However, it's claimed that the "elaborately-programmed algorithms" adapt themselves to the incoming audio signal, giving you an "outstanding" sound.
You can try the IQ-Limiter for free for 14 days, and it's available to buy at the introductory price of €119.90. Find out more on the Hofa-Plugins website.
