Audio Limiter Online

One Peak Shouldn’t Ruin the Whole Export

You mixed the whole thing carefully, then one laugh, one door slam, one over-enthusiastic word pushes past the digital ceiling — and the export clips. The old fixes are all a hassle: hunt down the transient by hand, or load a desktop mastering suite for a one-second problem. This limiter does the one thing you need: catch anything above the ceiling and hold it flat, so nothing clips.

A true brick wall, not a maybe

The threshold sits at −1 dB with a 20:1 ratio, a 1 ms attack, and zero knee — the classic brick-wall configuration. Below the threshold your audio passes untouched; above it, nothing gets through. That guarantee is exactly what streaming platforms, broadcast specs, and master delivery ask for.

Safety, not loudness — and how they fit together

A limiter is a specialist: it does almost nothing until a peak threatens the ceiling, then stops it dead. When you want to smooth out dynamics across the whole track, that’s the audio compressor. When a file is simply too quiet, the volume booster raises it — and running the limiter afterward keeps that boost from clipping.

Private because it never leaves

Unreleased masters and client work are exactly the files you don’t want on someone else’s server. Here the limiting runs on your own device — the same Web Audio engine that powers the full Notevibes editor. Because there’s no server doing the work, there’s nothing to meter: no watermark, no daily cap, no sign-up, files up to 200 MB.

The last step before you publish

Limiting is usually the final safety pass. If you also need to hit a platform’s loudness number, the loudness normalizer matches −23, −16, or −14 LUFS, and when the track needs cuts, cleanup, or stacked mastering, open it in the online audio editor.
