TB Barricade

Description

TB Barricade is a simple yet very effective and transparent brickwall limiter that is suitable for

individual tracks as well as mastering work. It supports digital peak meters, RMS meters, and

gain/attenuation meters, all with peak hold functionality. The meter scales also support the k-system

(k12, k14, and k20) layout and ballastics. Last but not least, true peak / inter-sample peak (ISP)

detection circuits that are in line with EBU R-128, ATSC A/85 and ITU-R BS.1770 allow to

generate true-peak compliant audio signals.

Features

• Fixed delay (1535 samples)

• Adjustable input gain and maximum output peak level

• Adjustable look ahead, attack and release times

• ISP/true peak detection for EBU R128, ITU-R BS.1770 and ATSC A/85 true-peak

compliance

• User-controllable stereo linking

• Monitor function to listen to the limiter operation without loudness gain

• Peak, K12, K14 or K20 output metering including RMS according to the Katz metering

specifications

• User-selectable AES17 3dB correction for RMS meters

• Support of all sampling rates from 22 to 192 kHz

• Peak, RMS and gain meters with peak hold functions

• Quantizer, dithering and perceptual noise shaping module for high-quality bit-depth

reduction

• Based on the VST 2.4 specification to allow compatibility with virtually all host programs
