What Weiss Compressor/Limiter does
The plugin is part of the Softube Weiss Collection, which also contains the Weiss DS1-MK3 digital dynamics processor, the Weiss MM-1 and the Weiss Deess de-esser. The developer places the DS1-MK3 at the top of its range, and the compressor and limiter in this plugin draw on that unit’s processing.
The developer names Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Cubase, Reaper and Studio One as hosts. Because it is a plug-in, any number of instances can be run in a session without restriction.
Key features
- Weiss Collection context. The plugin sits in the Softube Weiss Collection next to the Weiss DS1-MK3, the Weiss MM-1 and the Weiss Deess, and it carries the processing approach of that group.
- Mastering-stage design. The controls are aimed at the final stage of a mix, where the limiter sets how far a track can be pushed in loudness.
- Visualisations. New visual displays show the compression and limiting in action, which the developer cites as part of what makes the plugin straightforward to use.
- Unlimited instances. Being a plug-in, it can be loaded in as many instances as a session needs, with no restriction on the count.
- Repack, .rar and .iso builds. Repacked releases of the plugin are distributed as .rar and .iso archives, usually with a torrent or magnet link attached.
Use cases
- Master bus limiting. The limiter is aimed at the final bus of a mix, where loudness is raised without introducing artifacts.
- Group bus compression. The compressor is described for group and master bus work, where the developer’s DS1-MK3 processing is applied to a summed signal.
Compatibility
The plugin comes as VST3, VST2, AU, AAX and RTAS for Windows and macOS in 64-bit builds, with native support for Apple Silicon listed. Windows 10 is the minimum operating system, and activation uses iLok.
Who it is for
The plugin is written for producers and mix engineers who finish tracks on a master or group bus and want a compressor and limiter tied to the Weiss DS1-MK3 processing. Mastering stages in Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Cubase, Reaper and Studio One are the places the developer names for it.
