atkAudio has released atkSpeechLimiter, a free audio plugin designed to manage voice dynamics with precision and ease. Built with speech in mind, this limiter is best suitable for podcasters, voice-over artists, streamers, and anyone working with spoken word content.
atkSpeechLimiter offers consistent peak control with a smooth limiting curve and optional high-frequency limiting via its de-esser mode.
Tailored for Voice Clarity
The plugin features a classic lookahead limiter structure, ensuring clean peak control without introducing unwanted artifacts. The wideband de-esser (HF limit mode) is particularly useful for taming harsh sibilance in vocals, helping voices sit more comfortably in the mix.
While its main use is speech processing, atkSpeechLimiter can be used creatively on other sources. A common workflow is to chain two instances, first for limiting, second in de-esser mode, for even greater control.
Features
- Lookahead limiter with input gain, threshold, and output ceiling controls
- Gain reduction metering for visual feedback
- Wideband de-esser/HF limiter toggle
- Up to 64-channel support for multichannel work
