It's Alex Keren

Just set the channel link parameter to 0% ;)

@fuseaudiolabs Not the same as being able to control every parameter individually per channel like hardware. HUM Audio LAAL limiter is a great example. It would move this design into perfection.

Thanks for your comment @alemarrena8792. This is by design though. With brickwall limiters you typically get one of the following: An input and an output gain (with a fixed internal limiter threshold of 0 dBFS/TP) or an input gain and a threshold/limiter ceiling. Both parametrizations have their advantages and disadvantages and it comes down to what one is used to. Assuming the OCELOT Limiter is the last insert on your 2-Bus, you can easily use your DAW's master fader. It's also possible to hold down the shift key when adjusting the input/ceiling knobs which will retain the limiter's gain structure while changing the output volume, esentially this gives you an output gain control. Hope that helps.

@@fuseaudiolabs Thank you for your kind reply. I understand your thinking, but in digital, as opposed to analog, people use these tools in hundreds of different ways and in different places, more than the developer can think of. That's why every limiter I know of has an output control. In my case, the first time I tested OCELOT it imposed to me the need of an extra plugin to control the output because of the specific way I wanted to use it. This is just wrong. The output should be controlled via the plugin, not master fader or extra plugin (side note: I never ever touch the master fader, never needed it and if I do I run the risk of forgetting it's been lowered). I was going to buy OCELOT, because it sounds amazing, but because of the lack of an output control I just couldn't. Please, consider adding an output knob, or even just a screw, like PA's Maag EQ. It will make what's already an excellent device perfect.

@NickWaves Thanks for your comment. "The true peak function isn't really true peak" - I would like to debate that statement / give a little bit of context. Please don't feel offended: There is an ongoing controversy about what qualifies as "true peak" and people are discussing e.g. the discrepancies in the level readouts they see on their different loudness metering tools. The closest we come to a real definition of true peak is www.itu.int/dms_pubrec/itu-r/rec/bs/R-REC-BS.1770-5-202311-I!!PDF-E.pdf (pp. 18) and we adhering to that "standard". It boils down to oversampling your signal by a factor of x4, but one has to admit that the specification of the interpolation filter is a little vague. The recommended FIR is a 12 point linear-phase polyphase FIR kernel, i.e. a 48-tap filter which gives a decent tracking accuracy while allowing for a low latency and CPU-load. It's easy to get higher quality tracking by using more oversampling or a longer kernel, but they all come at the expense of - well - CPU-load and latency. To be perfectly transparent, from a signal processing point of view there is no such thing as perfect "true peak" level tracking because that involves a sinc kernel which extends infinitely in the time domain and thus can only be approximated in the real world. On top of that there different ways to implement reconstruction filters in a DAC so that has to remain an unknown parameter and all you can do is to give your signal enough headroom by trying to exceed its performance in the digital domain. There's a good read on the topic I recommend to the inclined reader if you don't want to take the deep dive into the mathematical aspects of this: www.izotope.com/en/learn/true-peak-limiter.html It also demonstrates how you can always construct pathological examples that will throw of even even with the "best" filtering applied in the digital domain to emulate the analog output. These are, of course, theoretical constructs and you eventually have to take a pragmatic stance. The OCELOT Limiter tries to strike a balance between usability/low CPU-load/signal integrity and we observed a discrepancy of <0.2 dB in 48k, <0.1 dB in 96k between OCELOT and the Youlean Loudness Meter. So from a practical standpoint I recommend adding a margin of 0.2 dB on top of your ceiling level and you should be good to go in case you are worried that OCELOT's true peak mode "isn't really true peak". Hope that helps.

I don't know about the Specifics, but for me is a true peak for real. I mastered a client record these days and it was loud, the ceiling was at -0.2 and the final export read -0.2 true peak. Cheers for the great limiter Fuse Audio Labs 😊

@@fuseaudiolabsTo be really safe a -0.3 dB safety margin does the job

bro this is that exactly... it even weights less than fruity limiter and sounds way better.

Thanks a lot for the kind words, much much appreciated!

AI generated?

you little dirty bot

@@SitWithAnkit No, it's all human.

@@chevywilliams2717 I'm a human robot.

The latency is around 1.5 ms, so I'd say yes ;)

At 48k the latency is 68 samples, which is less than 1.5 ms. Hope that helps.

That's good! Thanks for the reply 👍

It's still Reimund at the helm. I'm hyped to see what's planned for the Ocelot Series as well. Fuse releases always turn out to be just-take-my-money scenarios. XD

​@@lucasturney4269 Yeah no kidding, I picked this one up & as usual it's exceeded all expectations. Reimund is killing it. Can't wait to see what else comes out in this Ocelot series. This is likely going to take the spot of my master limiter from here on out.

Pretty sure limiters don't have sidechains. Ozone Maximizer, sonible Smart Limit or TDR Limiter 6 don’t have them.

What?

@@marksaxon_plays All of IK Multimedia's T-racks 6 compressors and Limiters have it, as well as their whole TR6 plugin container. Which is why I'm forced to used those plugins exclusively - and it annoys me, that nobody else is picking up on this. I do own the limiters you mentioned and host of others - all of which I can rarely use because of missing the Side Chain facility. I have been in touch with iZotope and they came back saying they might implement it in the next version of Ozone, after I explained why it's needed.

@@dutnakke Compressors should have them but a limiter should be your last plugin in the chain. Sidechaining a compressor means it’s not compressing a portion of the signal. Limiting has to limit the whole thing or it’s not limiting. Yes?

Trolling maybe 🫤

If it's like their other (amazing) plugins I'd assume yes. Confirmation would be nice though.

Yes it does once you enable True Peak mode.

Thanks for your comments @ill-shapedtransmitter4309. We are considering adding a low-CPU / preview mode, e.g. for live usage. For the time being please consider using a higher buffer size setting and/or a lower sample rate.

The plugin has seen a GUI update since it's release. Have you checked its current look on the website? Perhaps it's more pleasing to you now.

In which way do you feel this needs to be updated?

The plugin doesn't offer MIDI output, but you can try separating the sources first (offline or using a 2->5.1 Instance -> Aux Bus) and then use the resulting outpus as trigger signals. Hope that helps

@@fuseaudiolabs do you know if its better at seperating the individual drum parts than regroover pro?

@@PowerRedBullTypology one advantage over Regroover Pro is that DrumsSSX separation works in real-time and doesn't impose any restriction on the length of the input signal that's being processed. As far as the separation quality goes the plugin offers plenty of options to fine-tune the algorithm and you can download and test a fully functional trial version at fuseaudiolabs.com/drumsssx.html . Hope that helps.

We’ll, thanks for your comment, but all our VPRE plugins do have internal oversampling.

Nope, the VPRE-31A is not free. It’s on sale currently, though. Please check the link in the description for more details.

Sonnox Inflator is not a compressor tho', useful tool nonetheless :).

It is simply a waveshaper. You can get 100% same effect for free. Search on UA-cam. :)

Incredible right?!

@@pendulumdistinction2494 This thing is extremely punchy but has a cleaner punch compared to a Distressor, which gives a crunchy punch.

@@pendulumdistinction2494 I Came back to tell you that it has become a staple in my mixing template.

If you're talking about presets, undo/redo etc. that's Logic's toolbar and thus isn't part of the plugin. Virtually every decent DAW has something similar these days. Hope that helps.

@@fuseaudiolabs Ahh thank you for the reply. I get it.

Thanks for the kind words @MPHORROCKS
