Designed to cater to the needs of music producers, mastering engineers, and live sound experts, the ML4000 is a dual-component plugin offering exceptional control over your audio dynamics.

At its core, the ML4000 features the ML1, a mastering limiter known for its flexible brick wall look-ahead design.
