Why does the world need another limiter?
The Wall is a brickwall limiter designed with one thing in mind: make your mixes loud without ruining them. No matter which side of the loudness wars you have decided to stand on, the need to make full-volume mixes for clients will not disappear in the short term. Sending your clients home with a mix that is as loud as the professional mixes they are used to hearing is an important part of any mix engineer's job.
But nothing drives me crazier than hearing all my hard work turn into garbage when I turn the mix up to full volume. That is why we made this plugin. We wanted a mastering limiter that would allow you to increase the volume of your mixes while still maintaining the punch of your drums and keeping your tone intact.
There are many limiters out there, and one of the things we learned while making this is that a good limiting algorithm is complicated. There are tons of steps involved in transparently limiting music, and most of the parameters are not intuitive. When I am mastering my music, I do not want to think about release and attack times, lookahead times, window shapes, multiband crossover frequencies, etc., but I do want to adjust the limiter to match the music I am sending. .
So we took over 30 parameters and combined them into a very simple and intuitive "Flavor" control. It really could not be easier to use. You set your level, then adjust the flavor until it sounds good with your song. And if that is not enough, The Wall comes with 3 completely different limiting algorithms that you can switch between very quickly. It is so easy to use.
