APU Software releases Loudness Limiter and updates Loudness Series to v3.0.0

APU Software has updated APU Loudness Meter, APU Loudness Compressor, APU Dynamics Optimizer to version 3.0.0 and released APU Loudness Limiter.

Changes since version 2.9.0 include:

• Set channel-split LUFS channels as dual-mono for consistent loudness.

• Look-ahead performance improvement (compressor/optimizer).

• Remove negative look-ahead for limiter (optimizer).

• Fix rare source max percentile range detection inaccuracy (optimizer).

• Fix expansion ratio text parsing (compressor).

• Support lower visualizer delta field decay rates.

• Filename in title bar (optimizer/meter).

• Initial limiter release (limiter).

• Fix panning issue for channel-linked modes w/output gain (compressor/optimizer).

• Fix target histogram not always refreshing (optimizer).

• Minor fixes and improvements.

The APU Loudness Limiter is a real-time limiter designed to support multiple loudness types simultaneously. The limiter can be configured to use LUFS, True Peak, RMS, and/or Peak loudness types. This allows you to target multiple requirements simultaneously, such as a specific LUFS target and a specific True Peak target. Internally, the ballistics of the limiter are adjusted to accommodate the different loudness type limiter settings.

APU Loudness Limiter is available from APU Software on it's own for $30, or alternatively, in the following bundled packages:

• limiter + compressor ($45).
• limiter + compressor + optimizer ($80).
• limiter + optimizer ($55).
