Sonnox Oxford Limiter gets 77% discount, targeting loudness without sacrificing dynamics

Sonnox has rolled out a limited-time deal on its Oxford Limiter plugin, now priced at $59 (down from $264) until March 31. Designed for mastering engineers and producers, the plugin focuses on achieving high loudness levels while preserving clarity, punch, and musical dynamics.

In modern production, pushing loudness often comes at the cost of transient detail and overall energy. Oxford Limiter addresses this challenge with a transparent peak limiting engine that maintains the integrity of the original mix. With adjustable attack, release, and soft-knee controls, users can fine-tune how the limiter responds to incoming signals.

A standout feature is the Enhance section, which increases perceived loudness without excessive gain reduction. This allows tracks to sound louder and more impactful while retaining depth and detail—particularly useful for streaming, radio, and club-ready masters.

The plugin also includes a Recon meter that displays true peak levels rather than just sampled peaks, ensuring compliance with modern loudness standards such as ITU-R BS.1770-4. The Auto Comp feature further refines output by correcting reconstruction errors without reducing overall loudness.

Additional mastering tools include built-in dithering with multiple noise shaping options for 16-bit and 24-bit output, making it suitable for final delivery formats. A selection of factory presets helps users get started quickly while still allowing for detailed customization.

With its emphasis on clean loudness maximization and advanced metering, Oxford Limiter remains a reliable choice for achieving competitive masters. The current discount makes it an attractive option for producers looking to enhance their final output without compromising sound quality.
