W1 Limiter Vst Plugin Version [Latest 2021]Download
W1 Limiter is a clone of the well-known Waves L1 plugin with identical output, as well as an approximation of Waves L2. To achieve this result the developer modified the existent 4Front YLimiter by simplifying the release curve, increasing the release time 3 times, altering the softening circuit filter.
If you’re looking for a limiter that sounds like Wave’s L1 limiter W1 limiter is the perfect choice for you.
W1 Limiter is available for download in VST, AU, and RTAS plugin formats for both Windows and MAC (32 and 64-bit).
This was accomplished without reverse engineering Waves products, and the result was obtained by adjusting 4Front YLimiter, by doing the following:
Now let’s move on to something lighter. The easyLimiter plugin is perfect for removing many audio problems such as rattles, , distortions and other unwanted sounds. So, no unwanted sounds!
It’s a quite easy to use but a powerful an advanced limiter, capable of detecting the peaks before sound playing and it’s EXTREMELY low on your CPU resources.
- Simplifying release curve
- Increasing release time 3 times (see notes below)
- Altering softening circuit filter
Waves L1 famous limiter (and thus W1 – for compatibility reasons) uses three times longer actual release time than the standard RT60 metric. This means that if you set 50ms release in the limiter, it will actually yield with 150ms standard RT60 release time.
Different engineers recommend different values for release time, the default value is chosen reasonably to provide a smooth limiting for most typical usage of the limiter. If one is not experienced with limiters, it is recommended to keep the default release time.”
The current beta version also adds the adaptive release. I tried to replicate Waves L2, however, their tangent curve is very complex, so I could only approximate its behavior (which actually should be quite close, but unlike the L1 part, not digitally identical). Waves ARC uses fixed thresholds of 250 and 500ms, while W1 still allows changing release time while in adaptive mode. Also, IDR dithering is not emulated.
Formats included:
- VST (Windows, OS X)
- AudioUnit (OS X)
- RTAS (Windows, OS X).

Ah, limiters. Much like compressors, these dynamic range processing tools can make or break your final mix. If you manage to push the loudness high enough without damaging the dynamics, your track will stand proudly in a playlist next to any modern hit song.
However, apply too much (or too little) limiting and your mixed track won’t reach its potential. Our ears perceive louder music as “better” by default, but losing too much dynamic range will make your music sound lifeless.
To prevent this scenario from ever coming true, we created a list of the best limiters that will help you push your mix to its, erm, limits.
This vst plugin has the same sound coloration, peak output and RMS output with the commercial ones. So, If you’re looking for a limiter that sounds like L1 and you’re on a budget, you may try this one..
- Features (version):
- Process stereo information separately through the clipping algorithm
- Controls for Clip Shape and harmonics
- Scalable waveform history view with click-and-drag editing of threshold controls
- Standard LVC-Audio metering
- Low CPU usage
These are some of the features included in the version of the plugin, if you want more you can buy the commercial version for $12.5 and you will get access to many functions such as:
- Independent frequency clipping
- Mid/Side processing option
- Oversampling with Double Processing
- …and more
ClipShifter is available as or paid version for both Windows and MAC OSX in AU, VST, VST3, RTAS or AAX plugin formats.
