FAQs

Do I still need a separate loudness meter?

For many jobs, no. smart:limit includes detailed loudness and dynamics readouts, although careful users may still compare results in their DAW or with other trusted metering tools.

Can I adjust the automatic settings?

Yes. The automatic result is a starting point. You can change the style and shaping controls by hand and watch how the predicted loudness and dynamics respond.
