NUSofting's PK3 is a mastering peak limiting plug-in with look-ahead processing, offered in VST PC format.

The algorithm behind the processor is the result of a long research and years of experience, which offers a clean peak limiting without audible distortion, according to the maker.

Thanks to its design, PK3 also offers an "analog" feel similar to a warm studio compressor with all the accuracy of the 64-bit precision of a digital limiter. No compromises between the sound quality and the CPU usage have been made, except for some clever forms of optimizations that are necessary to get this kind of limiter to work in real-time.

A demo version of PK3, which will occasionally emit a beep is available for download. The full version is available for Euro 40/$45).

System requirements:

• Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP, 2003 or better
