The CEDAR Adaptive Limiter 2 is a professional audio limiting plug-in designed for mixing, mastering, broadcast and music production. Unlike conventional single-band and multiband limiters, it uses CEDAR Spectral Limiting to calculate a continuously changing EQ profile that constrains signal amplitude while retaining the character and integrity of the original audio.


Controls governing how quickly the profile changes over time and how much it can vary across the frequency spectrum provide flexible dynamic control. This allows engineers to achieve transparent, precise and musical limiting while pushing audio levels further.


CEDAR Adaptive Limiter 2 can be applied to individual instruments, vocals and stems for both limiting and maximising. It can help thin or lifeless tracks achieve greater presence and maintain a more consistent level within a multitrack mix. The plug-in is also suitable as the final processing stage in a mastering chain.


Peak and oversampling modes, integrated metering and a straightforward interface make CEDAR Adaptive Limiter 2 a practical option for engineers who need controlled levels without sacrificing musical detail.

FAQs

What does CEDAR Adaptive Limiter 2 do?
CEDAR Adaptive Limiter 2 is a professional limiting and maximising plug-in for mixing, mastering and audio production. Its CEDAR Spectral Limiting algorithm calculates a continuously changing EQ profile that controls signal amplitude while preserving the integrity and musical character of the source.

How is CEDAR Adaptive Limiter 2 different from a conventional limiter?
CEDAR Adaptive Limiter 2 differs from conventional single-band and multiband limiters by using CEDAR Spectral Limiting. The algorithm continuously adjusts an EQ profile to constrain amplitude, providing transparent and precise dynamic control rather than relying solely on conventional broadband or fixed-band processing.

Can CEDAR Adaptive Limiter 2 be used for mastering?
Yes. CEDAR Adaptive Limiter 2 is designed for mastering and can be placed as the final processing stage in a mastering chain. Its spectral processing, peak and oversampling modes, integrated metering and musical limiting characteristics support controlled level maximisation while retaining audio detail.

Can CEDAR Adaptive Limiter 2 be used on individual tracks?
Yes. CEDAR Adaptive Limiter 2 can be applied to individual instruments, vocals and stems during multitrack mixing. CEDAR Audio states that it can give thin or lifeless tracks greater presence and help them maintain a more consistent level within the mix.

Does CEDAR Adaptive Limiter 2 include metering?
Yes. CEDAR Adaptive Limiter 2 includes integrated metering within its interface. This gives the engineer visual feedback while adjusting the plug-in’s spectral limiting and dynamic controls.

Where can I buy CEDAR Adaptive Limiter 2 in Australia?
CEDAR Adaptive Limiter 2 is available through D2N Technology Solutions, an Australian distributor of CEDAR Audio solutions. D2N can assist with product selection and confirm the applicable licence, system compatibility and purchasing requirements.
