LoudMax is a look-ahead brickwall loudness maximizer designed to provide a clean and transparent sound. It focuses on preserving the original character of the audio even when applying high levels of compression, making it suitable for professional audio mastering and loudness control. The plugin ensures that the dynamics remain natural while maximizing loudness effectively.

The user interface features simple controls, including a threshold slider and an output level slider, complemented by meters displaying input, output, and gain reduction. These meters include a peak hold marker to provide precise visual feedback on the limiting process. LoudMax also incorporates inter-sample peak detection to achieve true peak limiting, which helps prevent clipping and maintains audio integrity across different playback systems.

Supporting a wide range of sample rates from 2kHz to 384kHz, LoudMax operates with minimal latency and low CPU usage, making it efficient for real-time processing. Its automatic release time adapts to the input signal, ensuring smooth and natural sound without audible distortion. This combination of performance and audio quality makes LoudMax an effective tool for output limiting in web radio stations and mastering environments.
