Limiter6
Limiter6 is a dynamic range limiter audio unit plugin for digital audio workstations and music production software on macOS. It is designed to prevent audio clipping and manage peak levels by applying fast-acting gain reduction to loud transients and peaks. The plugin is developed by Wordpress (vladg/sound) and is used by audio engineers, music producers and home studio operators as a mastering-chain or mixing tool.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionLimiter6 is an audio plugin component, not a standalone application — it runs inside a host DAW or audio editor and is updated through that host's plugin management system, not separately. The plugin was last updated around 2014–2016 based on available evidence, and there is no confirmed native Apple Silicon (arm64) build available. Since Limiter6 is a legacy plugin with no recent vendor activity, you will need to verify whether your DAW host supports it natively before relying on it after September 2028, when Apple removes Rosetta 2. Check your host application's plugin manager or documentation to see if Limiter6 is listed as compatible with Apple Silicon. If your host has moved to native-only plugin support (many professional DAWs including Logic Pro, Reaper, and recent Ableton Live builds now ship as Universal Binaries and may no longer load Intel-only plugins), Limiter6 will stop working and you will need to find a replacement limiter from a vendor with active native support — for example, FabFilter Pro-L, Waves L2, iZotope Ozone Dynamic, or Softube Summit Audio Grand Slammer, all of which ship native Apple Silicon builds from their respective vendors' current installers.
