However, apply too much limiting or use a lower quality limiter plugin and your carefully mixed track will lose its spark, to say the least. To prevent this dark scenario from ever coming true, here is a list of the best freeware limiter effects in VST and AU plugin formats that will help you push your mix to its, erm, limits.

To return to our directory of free VST plugins in which you’ll find more freeware effects and instruments. #1 Limiter №6 by Vladislav Goncharov (VST/AU) The undisputed champion of freeware limiters, Limiter №6 features a 5-stage signal path optimized for getting as much loudness out of a mix as possible without affecting the sound quality in a negative way. Starting with a transparent RMS compressor which gently glues up the mix, Limiter №6 forwards the processed audio signal to a peak limiter, a high-frequency limiter, a clipper, and finally a true peak limiter for setting the final loudness of the track and preventing inter-sample peak clipping. Each of the five stages is meant to add a touch of loudness to the processed audio signal, resulting in a highly transparent and clean sounding result. The peak limiter stage is particularly powerful, featuring four different processing modes (brickwall, soft, mid-side, and multi-band) and five limiting knee adjustments to perfectly fit any type of mix. Reading the manual is highly recommended if you plan on adding Limiter №6 to your plugin arsenal, as it explains all of the plugin’s nuances that you’ll need to understand in order to unleash its full potential.

The manual is also quite educational and helpful for understanding the different techniques of dynamic range processing. Limiter №6 might look a bit overwhelming at first with all the knobs and switches, I know it looked like a crazy science lab tool to me at first, but it’s actually quite logical and easy to use. Spend a bit of time with the manual, learn how to use the plugin, and you’ll have an amazing limiting tool in your hands, completely free of charge. The only mistake Vladislav Goncharov, the developer, with this plugin is that he didn’t name it Limiter №1.

Cons – User interface is a bit too advanced for beginners #2 Unlimited by Sonic Anomaly (VST) The most recent addition to this list is Unlimited, a freeware mastering limiter released in 2017 by Sonic Anomaly.

It is a high-quality maximizer/limiter effect capable of processing up to 5.1 surround audio material (stereo is also supported). Unlimited comes with RMS meters and an ITU-R BS.1770 compliant loudness meter for monitoring the signal loudness on the output. It automatically adjusts to the type of audio signal on the input, reducing the overall CPU hit if a stereo signal is detected. In practice, Unlimited blows away most of the competition with its highly transparent sound and intuitive controls.

If you don’t like the complex user interface and advanced features of Limiter №6, then Unlimited is the way to go. The processing quality is second to none, with a much faster workflow and a convenient control scheme. The advanced monitoring features ensure that Unlimited can also be used in professional studios. The single negative thing about Unlimited is that it is only compatible with Windows-based. It is a 32-bit and 64-bit VST plugin and you’ll need to run Windows 7 or later in order to use Unlimited in your DAW. Other than that, Unlimited is one of the best mastering tools around and an absolute must-have for Windows users.

Cons – Windows-only VST plugin #3 LoudMax by Thomas Mundt (VST/AU) If reading user manuals isn’t your thing, or if you simply prefer using a streamlined limiter that will instantly add loudness to your mix without damaging it, look no further than LoudMax by Thomas Mundt. This excellent freeware limiter for PC and Mac features only two control parameters (threshold and output volume), yet it manages to deliver fantastic sounding results on a wide variety of mixes. The plugin is optimized for highly transparent limiting and preserving the original character of the source signal even at extremely high compression settings.
