Developed by mastering engineer Nicky Howard, the software has been designed to provide engineers with the freedom to condition peaks in a way that’s comparable to using manual gain automation, but with more speed, reliability and the benefit of recall. It has only a few controls, and is said to be capable of delivering consistent results within a few minutes. There’s also an LF Mode that’s been designed to tackle sustained peaks caused by low-frequency energy. All of the software’s level adjustment is carried out using gain envelopes — there’s no dynamic processing involved. Pricing & AvailabilityPeak Tamer is available now, priced at £59.99 including VAT.
