The 4040 Retro Limiter combines a look-ahead brick wall limiter function with several subjective treatments to make the limiting action subtle, and yet vintage.
All Retro plug-ins use a McDSP designed output stage that puts a unique transformer-like touch on the audio signal. Retro plug-ins are a line of ‘classics’ that can live up to their own name without emulating something else.
Huge Drums
The 4040 Retro Limiter is a great device for peak limiting on individual tracks such as drums.
Tracking
Vocals, drums, and other highly transient material can always benefit from a little bit of peak control from the 4040.
Mastering
The 4040 Retro Limiter is a highly stylized algorithm that is great on all kinds of two-track material!
"I used a 4040 Limiter on the master bus as well when we mix...Very smooth and not obvious."
