Maxim is a unique and powerful peak-limiting and sound maximizing plug-in that is available in AAX (DSP, Native, and AudioSuite), TDM, RTAS, and AudioSuite formats. Maxim is ideal for critical mastering applications, as well as standard peak-limiting tasks.
Maxim offers several critical advantages over traditional hardware-based limiters. Most significantly, Maxim takes full advantage of the random-access nature of disk-based recording to anticipate peaks in audio material and preserve their attack transients when performing reduction.
This makes Maxim more transparent than conventional limiters, since it preserves the character of the original audio signal without clipping peaks or introducing distortion.
