Transparent, mastering-grade compressor and brickwall limiter with EBU R128 / ITU-R BS.1770 compliant ISP/True-Peak limiting.

Introduction

TB Barricade v4 is a simple yet very effective and transparent brickwall limiter that is suitable for individual tracks as well as mastering work. It supports digital input and output peak meters, RMS meters, and gain/attenuation meters, all with peak hold functionality. True peak / inter-sample peak (ISP) detection circuits can be enabled that are in line with EBU R-128, ATSC A/85 and ITU-R BS.1770 allow to generate true-peak compliant audio signals.

TB Barricade v4 provides various limiter modes that behave differently and can be used for creative or transparent limiting.

On top of the peak limiter, an peak compressor is included with adjustable ratio, threshold, attack and release times. This compressor uses the same advanced envelope tracking technology as used for the peak limiter, providing accurate and musically-sounding compression.
V3 vs V4 – what are the benefits of upgrading?

Barricade v4 was re-written from the ground up. What’s new in version 4 compared to version 3?

Resizable user interface to fit double and quad-HD screen resolutions
Colour themes to blend in almost any host
VST3 support on Windows and Mac
Native support for mono, quadro, 5.0 and 5.1 channel configuration
8x lower latency (128 samples instead of 1023 @ 44.1 kHz)
All new soft-knee peak compressor module using advanced envelope followers
3 different limiter modes, using multi-band analysis / peak limiting
Improved quality for short release times and bass-heavy content
Full-automatic channel linking optimizing loudness while keeping spatial image intact
Scrolling overview of input peak levels and gain across time
Improved accuracy of true-peak computation
Lower complexity audio DSP core (depending on settings up to 40% faster)
Easier registration / activation process using activation code rather than a key file
Copy and paste option between programs
Support for high sampling rates up to 384 kHz
Notification of availability of updates in the user interface
Numerous other improvements ‘under the hood’

Features

Low latency processing (< 3 ms latency)*
Fully resizable user interface supporting many color themes
VST, VST3 and Audio Unit (Mac) versions
Any sampling rate supported between 32 and 392 kHz
Native support for mono, stereo, quad, 5.0 and 5.1 input (AU/VST3 version)
Integrated, transparent soft-knee peak compressor
EBU / ITU compliant True-Peak limiting (if enabled)
Fully-automatic channel linking for the peak limiter
Different liming modes for transparent or musical peak limiting

*The limiter introduces approximately 3 ms of latency that will be fully compensated by hosts that support plugin latency compensation

superb dev, fair prices, very generous demo limitations.
plugin is 30 bucks. upgrade from earlier version is 15.

here is the link

 

Never tested it, but Im sure it sucks!!!!

Why the hell announce such a shite release Greggers??

 

ah, idiot trolls strike again. nothing new. nothing new at all.

 

hey phloopy, TB make pretty good stuff! maybe not the very best, but they perform above their price point!

no need to judge a book by its cover, nor by its uploader!

 

Barricade update to v4.1.0

• Fixed VST category shown in some hosts
• Extended AU and VST3 multi-channel capabilities to include 7.1
• Fixed an issue causing the VST2 version to show up as 8-channel plugin while only supporting mono and stereo
• Added mouse wheel functionality to threshold draggers on VU meters
• Changed slider mouse wheel behavior for sliders – mousewheel can now be used for fine editing
• Added option to disable scroll view and added new parameter and detailed views
• New input modeller with console, tape, and clipping models, and variable threshold/drive setting
• Limiter gain control now shows the gain realized by the limiter in real time
• Added quantization, dithering and perceptual noise shaping output option (16 and 24 bits)
• Added tooltips to user interface elements
• Increased startup time during scanning and opening GUI in some hosts
• Extended set of presets (VST2 and AU, and VST3 if supported by host)
• Various optimizations and stability improvements

Barricade update to v4.1.1 (hotfix)

• OSX: AU version now saves GUI size and color theme with project
• True peak is now correctly measured and processed even if the compressor is disabled
• New limiter modes added with automatic attack/release to allow quick dial-in

 

What is that little critter, some kind of sloth?

 

Phloop we expected better of you. Take a look over here:
