Drive · Ceiling
Loud, honestly
Drive gain into the limiter, set the true-peak ceiling once. PEAK measures the way DACs actually reconstruct, 4× oversampled, so peaks survive your DAW and the listener's speakers.

Loud where it counts.
A limiter for the mix bus and the master: set the ceiling once, then push the drive into it.

What's under the hood
One finisher. Every decision it makes, shown to you.
If You Insist
Loud · Colour · Extra
Need more than clean? A soft/cubic/hard clip stage, an odd-harmonic COLOUR for air, and EXTRA, a single knob that cascades the loudness levers so you push once, not five times.
Match Ref · Drive Cmp
Land on a reference
Drop a reference master and PEAK solves its own knobs on-device so your output measures like it. No reference? DRIVE CMP maps every Drive setting's trade-off in one table.
Transparency
Know what you spent
A live transparency score with the cause named, the band, the moment, the punch you traded for loudness. When you're overcooking it, PEAK says so before the client does.
Delta · Dither
Trust, then verify
Delta-listen every change PEAK makes, silence means perfect transparency. Proper truncation dither for 16 and 24-bit delivery, and A/B/C/D snapshots to compare moves.
Post-limiter forensics
The analysis panel that keeps you honest.
Every limiter claims transparency. PEAK proves it. It scores what the limiter actually did to your master, band by band, then names the exact move that gets the headroom back.
