A Word From Our Sponsor
Our podcast sponsors are NUGEN Audio who provide advanced audio solutions for post-production and broadcast, including upmixing, loudness management, metering and correction.
ISLst is Nugen Audio’s stereo True Peak limiter. Whilst traditional approaches to limiting control the sample peak, this leaves room for the True Peak of your audio to slip over the threshold. To avoid this problem, ISLst also limits the inter-sample peaks of your audio, ensuring a true brick-wall solution to limiting. This means that there’s no longer any need to second guess the peaks of your tracks, or to deliberately increase headroom to avoid a problem further downstream. ISLst provides the means to fully utilise your dynamic range and avoid unexpected clipping upon playback through today’s digital streaming services. Inserting ISLst on your master bus eliminates the risk of distortion from downstream codec conversion with formats such as mp3 and AAC.
