Loudness Maximizer

Loudness Maximizer increases the loudness, even when processing a full-scale audio signal, without creating any perceptible processing artifacts.

Using psycho-acoustic masking techniques, the Loudness Maximizer transparently increases program loudness while "hiding" typical artifacts associated with traditional compression processes.

Loudness Maximizer is extremely simple to use: the "Possible Gain" meter displays the loudness that is inherent in the program signal. Moving the "Gain-Fader" up increases the amount of loudness at the output. An "Audition" function provides a unity gain structure through the VPI, by compensating for this increased level. This facilitates proper A/B's between processed and unprocessed audio, so that you can clearly hear the spectral differences. If you're looking for that "squashed" sound, the "Density" slider will increase loudness by compressing the audio material.
