Focusrite Launches FAST Limiter, AI-Powered Mastering Plugin

The FAST Bundle, via the Collective from Focusrite, continues to bulk up. Their latest addition: the FAST Limiter mastering plugin.

AI-powered and equipped with deep controls, the FAST Limiter is a mastering plugin designed to help musicians finish music and get their tracks to a release-ready standard.

No presets are used. The FAST Limiter’s AI engine analyses audio to carefully select the perfect settings unique to the sound’s characteristics. Musicians can use Reference Mastering to apply the key sonic characteristics of their favorite songs to their tracks.

Focusrite and Novation are celebrating the launch by giving registered hardware owners over 60% savings off the FAST Bundle from 28th July 2022–30th August 2022. That’s a price reduction from $359.85 to $124.99. (Focusrite or Novation registered hardware customers can log in to The Collective site with their customer.focusrite.com account credentials to access the introductory offer.)

Focusrite and Novation’s FAST Bundle just expanded with the FAST Limiter mastering plugin.
