Feb 25, 2008 6:41 PM Asher Fulero (Writer)
In the seemingly
never-ending loudness game, many players have come and gone. Image Line Maximus
($189; http://www.image-line.com/documents/maximus.html) aims to stick around a
bit longer by combining multiband peak limiting and maximization with overall
dynamic control, including compression, noise gating, expanding, ducking,
de-essing and more. Four definable compression curves with brightly colored
visual analysis offer separate settings for low, mid and high bands, as well as
a fourth wide-band Master control. Each of the four bands sports custom
look-ahead settings, two saturation types, parallel-style mix control and a
stereo separation control for really dialing in the specifics of how each part
interacts in the mix. Currently supported under only Windows XP/Vista as a VSTi
2.4 or FLStudio plug-in, Image Line says Mac OS X compatibility is coming soon.
Whether on individual tracks or across the whole mix, Maximus can help you in
the fight to be heard amidst the bevy of loud music out there.
