This week’s free plugin is Frontier from D16 Group, a “self adaptive” limiter suitable for use on tracks, busses or across the mix.

What Is Frontier?

Frontier is a limiter with auto makeup gain, adjustable release and soft clipping distortion. Actually, in spite of what the control labelling says, the manual explains that the Release control actually controls both the attack and release. It’s easy to set up and has a well designed UI with good metering. If you want an alternative to your stock plug-ins and don’t need side-chain filters or an external sidechain input it’s ideal.
