AL-1
Loudness with a minimal footprint
The AL-1 is a premium limiter built on a new approach to peak control — designed to stay musical, stay intact, and hold up under pressure. Validated through thousands of hours of blind testing and real-world feedback, the AL-1 is for those who demand tools that respond musically, not mechanically.

Industry proven, community built
"Most new limiter plugins from the last decade have gone about improving limiting quality from a similar angle. The AL-1 truly offers to solve our in-the-box loudness concerns from an approach that was born thinking completely 'out-of-the-box'!"

Made With Intention
Every detail crafted with quality in mind
Zero Look-Ahead Design
The AL-1 abandons traditional look-ahead limiting in favor of an original circuit that keeps limiting minimally invasive. Experience more weight and articulation, a truer form of your material — processed with extremely low-latency.
Non-Brickwall Limiting
The AL-1 avoids a clipping or waveshaping stage typically used to force a hard ceiling resulting in a more natural and open sound — preserving dynamics, detail, and dimension.
Intuitive Workflow
The AL-1's left-to-right workflow streamlines the decision making process. The result is a limiter that offers power while remaining quick to dial in, letting you focus on your music instead of the plugin.
