Sonible smart:limit review: A stunning limiter for beginners and pros alike

musictech.com

Sonible's smart:limit is a standout limiter that deftly combines AI with a user-friendly interface, perfect for both novices and seasoned pros. Its transparent sound and impressive transient detail shine, supported by an array of tools that enhance functionality. However, the AI-driven settings may require manual tweaking, and the distortion monitoring graph could be larger for better visibility. While it excels in loudness and dynamics monitoring, some may find its default levels a bit light for club mixes. Overall, smart:limit is a compelling addition to any audio toolbox, offering excellent sound quality alongside great visual feedback.
