Maximus: Heavy weaponry for the loudness war.
Maximus is much more than a pristine quality Mastering Maximizer, it's also a Compressor, Limiter, Noise Gate, Expander, Ducker and De-esser. Maximus excels equally well as a final mastering plugin or as a per-track effect. Lock and load.
Maximus will quickly become one of the most rewarding tools in your recording and mixing arsenal. It applies level maximization via compression and/or limiting across three frequency bands, to enhance and improve the final track.
Used sparingly, Maximus raises the volume of the track without introducing unwanted distor- tion and ensures that the quieter parts, often lost in the mix, are more easily heard. Bass can be increased and higher frequencies sharpened. Selected elements of a mix, instruments or vocals for example, or complete tracks are given a professionally mastered 'presence'.
Key features:
3 independent user-definable High Mid Low (HML) frequency bands.
Custom look-ahead for the HML bands and Master compression envelopes.
4 limiter/compressors: One per HML band plus a Master wide band limiter/compressor.
Each compressor has a multipoint compression curve. Create any shaped knee or special effects (limiting, compression, gating or expansion).
Fully configurable. Any of the HML or Master compressors can be bypassed to configure Maximus to suit any limiting, compression or maximization task.
Two saturation types per HML & Master bands, with independent gain.
Phase-free mixing between the frequency dependent compressors and the master, perfect for parallel & NY-style compression.
4 Independent stereo separation controls, one per band, for independent bass through to high-end separation shaping.
