A transparent mastering limiter to optimize and protect your sound.
The TC Electronics BRICKWALL HD-DT takes mastering to new heights. With its sophisticated transparency and modern loudness control, this versatile brickwall limiter plug-in optimizes your sound for any destination. The dedicated hardware interface provides intuitive hands-on control of every parameter.
Achieve Sophisticated Transparency
Transparent limiting is essential for increasing loudness without sacrificing audio quality. The BRICKWALL HD-DT's sophisticated limiter algorithm draws from the highly-regarded original Brickwall Limiter used in TC Electronic's System 6000 studio mastering suite. This gives you smooth, natural gain control that amplifies your sound's impact. With the premium adaptive limiter profiles, you get maximum transparency tailored to your audio's content.
Modern Loudness Control
In addition to the transparent limiter, BRICKWALL HD-DT includes a modern loudness mode to optimize your music for today's streaming services. The intelligent loudness limiter safeguards your sound so it shines on Spotify, Apple Music and more. This ensures your music makes an impression on both casual listeners and audiophiles.
Inter-sample Peak Limiting
Unlike traditional limiters that cap at 0dBFS, BRICKWALL HD-DT analyzes and controls inter-sample peaks that cause clipping further down the chain. The advanced ISP limiting algorithm delivers clean, predictable results every time. You can trust it as the last line of defense for your precious mixes.
Shape Your Sound
While flawless sound is the goal, sometimes a touch of analog character takes your mix to the next level. BRICKWALL HD-DT lets you blend its transparent limiting with the built-in soft clipping curves to add richness and edge with precision. Dial in just the right amount of spice for your mastered sound.
Intuitive Desktop Hardware Puts You in Control
The dedicated hardware interface brings visual feedback and hands-on control of BRICKWALL HD-DT's key parameters right to your desktop. With comprehensive metering and an overview of limiter statistics, you have everything you need to confidently finalize your masters. The tactile experience speeds up experimentation and fine-tuning.
