audioD3CK releases KRUCZ Look-ahead Limiter v0.99b

audioD3CK has released a public beta / release candidate of KRUCZ, audioD3CK's first attempt to create a look ahead limiter. Great care has been taken to design it to be as musical as possible. It ranges from clean to totally smashed and will not turn your audio into harsh dirt when driven hard.

• Up to 4x oversampling (linear phase).
• High pass filtering to remove low frequency noise.
• 3 different soft-clip knee settings.

• 24db gain reduction meter.
• +-24 db input gain.
• 0 - 24db output threshold.
