The IK Multimedia Quad Lim - Multi-Band Limiter Plugin Downloadis a dynamic processor plug-in that features up to four selectable frequency bands with adjustable limiting per band. This enables you to process part of a signal's frequency spectrum without influencing the other sounds within the spectrum. Each limiting band features a fixed limiting ratio of ∞:1 as well as an adjustable threshold, attack time, release time, and gain level. The software also allows you to select the slope of the frequency crossovers to reduce the influence of artifacts between bands.

The device also includes a master brickwall limiter that will ensure the program material does not exceed 0 dBFS, regardless of the processing on the individual bands.

Often the limiter will be placed on a stereo master bus to control clipping within parts of the frequency spectrum of the program material, but it can also be used to control inconsistent dynamics in solo tracks such as vocals and bass.

In the user interface, a display indicates the amount of gain reduction per band as well as the overall left and right stereo output levels. The bands can be linked and each band can be soloed or bypassed to observe the effects of the compression. A mid side button enables mid-side limiting wherein the mid channel is the mono sum of the sound stage and the side channel is the difference between the left and right channels. A master bypass switch allows you to A/B the effect of the processing on the entire signal, and a reset switch can be used to restore the original settings.

The plug-in is fully compatible with native 32- and 64-bit applications on both Mac OS X (Universal Binary) and Windows (XP/Vista/7/8) computers. It supports VST, RTAS, AAX, and Audio Units plug-in formats. It can also be used with the T-RackS CS standalone application (sold separately).

A: The IK Multimedia iRig Pro Duo Studio Suite Deluxe does not include a power supply for the i-rig Pro Duo since it is bus powered.

This mic includes a desktop mic stand and mic cable.

Q: 4. Is the sound quality good with DSLRs ? I'd like to use this with running and gunning on-the-go with a shotgun mic and not have to sync audio in post. Thanks, Ef

A: The audio recorded by virtually any DSLR's built-in microphone is mediocre at best. The iRig Pre Microphone Interface is not designed to connect to cameras as it is intended for use with iOS devices like the iPhone or iPad. Consider a Shure VP83 LensHopper Shotgun Microphone B&H # SHVP83 which requires no adapters. It is a plug and play mic. An XLR shotgun powered by a battery will offer even better performance but will require a cable and an adapter. Shure VP83 LensHopper Shotgun Microphone B&H # RONTG2K2 (B&H Kit)
