MClass Maximizer

Reason Studios

The MClass Maximizer is a loudness maximizer and special type of limiter designed to significantly raise the perceived loudness of a mix without risk of hard clipping distortion. It features a 4ms look-ahead function for brick-wall limiting and a soft-clip function, making it ideal for mastering and final mix protection. This plugin is tailored for safe loudness maximization on the final output stage of a mix.

  • 04Combine Look Ahead with Mid or Slow Attack settings and activate Soft Clip as protection if pure look-ahead limiting is too transparent
