PeakEater is a free open-source VST3/AU/LV2/CLAP wave shaping plugin for macOS, Windows and Linux.
PeakEater lets you choose between different wave-shaping functions to clip everything above ceiling level. Therefore, you can boost the overall volume of your track safely without worrying that some nasty peak would go above the maximum allowed volume level of your DAW. It supports various features such as multiple clipping types, oversampling and visualizations of a clipping process that aims to make clipping easy and fun.
I tried PeakEater as I am looking for a limiter which gives smooth clipping without distortion and is easy to use. PeakEater is a nicely laid out plugin which is intuitive to use and so far has given good results on my M1 Mac Mini using Studio One 6. Visually, I think it is comparable to much more expensive plugins and to my ears, which I admit are old, it does not overly affect or colour the original.
