Best Free Bitcrusher VST/AU Plugins Krush by Tritik (Windows, Mac) Krush is a bitcrusher for Mac OS X and Windows, available in Audio Unit, VST and AAX formats. Before you Dither, you should always check to see if any programmes you are using have Dither enabled by default. You should be the one in control of Dithering and only use it when it is needed. Be wary of interfering with the data compression process, and make use of the basic Dithering options such as rectangular or triangular to help with this.

Limitless implements multi-band dual-stage processing that intelligently separates dynamics and transients, and generates the smoothest possible gain reduction curves.
See what we mean: download the demo.
Limitless lives up to its name, making masters louder than you ever thought possible, while being intuitive and familiar. 10/10.
When a plug-in sounds great and is absurdly comprehensive, yet easy to use, you have to dig pretty hard to find anything to complain about, and I haven't even mentioned the many little touches that help to elevate Limitless above the herd. I can't recommend Limitless highly enough. Not only is it immensely flexible and capable of a lot of very transparent gain reduction, it's also more affordable than many alternatives, and surprisingly economical on CPU load.
Limitless brings music forward where others push it back. It retains more depth than the competition and maintains a robust stereo image, even when pushed beyond the point that other limiters fall apart.

Sonically, it's rich, clear and capable of high levels with impressive sound quality. It has been very interesting changing the cross-over slope on-the-fly and hearing the changes in tonality. This is a killer app.
Alan Silverman
its a winner for sure. i mastered a whole album today - 17 songs - and no problems. it went quickly. big, fast and solid.
S Husky Höskulds
Throw all other limiters in the trash.
Nate Wood
The most transparent limiter i have ever used!
Dom & Roland
With bar raising code and mind shattering clarity even with as little as a 2db crest, it's game over.

I've tried dozens of stereo and multi band limiters trying to find one that really preserved dynamics instead of just claiming to. After messing around with Limitless for about 10 minutes I realized DMG had actually pulled this off in a huge way. I'm blown away by this thing. I've told several friends about it already and basically forced them to download the demo. I would recommend reading the manual, it does a very good job of explaining how it works and the way to get the best results. I'm guessing a lot of big name plugin companies are headed back to drawing board..

How Limitless works and a guide to Limiting
The Threshold control on a limiter is really an input gain. Limiting at the threshold and then turning the gain up is the same as turning the gain up and then limiting at 0dBFS.
The simplest limiter adds gain and clips. It wouldn't be much of a limiter, but it would make things louder. A more sophisticated limiter will work out how much gain is reduced when clipping and release it gently. More sophisticated still is the technique of delaying the audio (lookahead), to allow a gentle attack time. There's a problem with having one release time though, which is that either you set the release time short, so that it recovers quickly after a peak, and suffer it sounding aggressive on loud sustained material, or you set it long and have dips in level after every transient. In general, a compromise here is a bad compromise.
One solution to this problem is to automatically adapt the release time to the duration of the transient. This improves matters, but it depends on how well the algorithm adapts to your specific material. A better solution, and one that many engineers adopt, is to use a pair of limiters - one to control the dynamics, and another to catch the peaks. Write vst plugin java. This is the strategy that Limitless adopts, but in an integrated way - the dynamics limiter allows transients to pass, configurably, letting the second stage catch the peaks.
Limitless also goes further, with a linear phase crossover of up to 6 bands. By separating out the bands we can prevent the scenario where one loud frequency drags down everything else. Multiband limiters have a reputation for sounding aggressive, when in fact they can achieve much greater transparency (as Limitless will demonstrate). The bad rap appears to be a consequence of the release time issue described above.
To a mathematician, limiting is a delightfully well specified problem. The peaks reach but do not exceed 0dBFS. Given another constraint, it's possible to formulate the problem in such a way that a numerical solver can be built to achieve certain criteria. In Limitless, the operating principle is that the most transparent limiting is a fixed gain reduction - so we strive for maximal smoothness of the gain reduction signals. With the constraints of peak limiting and maximal smoothness, we designed a numerical solver, which per-sample solves to find the gentlest possible adjustments that will prevent clipping.
So here's Limitless. It can be louder than other limiters without audible distortion, but that's not the point. Using Limitless you can achieve pop loudness without losing your dynamics. More importantly, Limitless is designed around modern loudness standards, so it's easy to target a specific Loudness - full metering and history is built in.
Another trick a lot of top-flight engineers use is clipping the signal before the limiter, to reduce the work the limiter has to do to peaks. Limitless features a full-spec clipper with massive oversampling, so you can achieve the 'clipped convertor' effect inside the box. And at the output is a simple but thoroughly modern dither.
We're excited to introduce Limitless to the DMGAudio range, because now you can build a pro-grade mastering facility just from DMGAudio processors and a DAW, and you'll have the best gear money can buy whatever your objective.
On the other hand, if you just need to squeeze 6dB out of a render to test it on a big system tonight, Limitless makes it a 1-click affair, and it'll sound better than any alternative.
Dithering is the missing link between distortion and clarity.
MAear LINearise is the latest link between production and delivery. Offering an optional reduction in word length and three dithering spectra, adapted to both analog and digital asset delivery, LINearise is easily tuned to help create your own signature sound. In addition to TPD and weighted TPD, LINearise supports VPD ™, a variable probability density, an exclusive function that allows you to type in the dither spectrum anywhere between a rectangular and Gaussian distribution.

LINearise has this. As you would expect, automatic mute and variable bit depth, as well as the choice of rounding, truncation or no change of these low-order bits. Noise generation and anti-aliasing gain are also adjustable, so from all options you can determine the ideal nature of low amplitude for your client.
Dithering is a fundamental aspect of modern DAWs. Although this is usually not the case, remixing is an important DSP (Digital Signal Processing). In the distant past, much of the pioneering dithering research was conducted at Bell Labs. In accordance with the theory of information, you should add a pinch to your digital audio every time you change it to avoid distortion and embed program content in a minimum noise level. This is dithering. Use it to make your digital audio less … “digital!”
