A true peak limiter that holds its ceiling

Less Limiter is a brickwall limiter measured in true peak. Set the ceiling to -1 dBTP and the output stays under it, including after the encoder. The gain computer runs release, sliding maximum and smoothing in an order chosen so the ceiling holds.

True peak ceiling

Inter-sample peaks held under the ceiling per BS.1770, so the level survives encoding.

One release control

Programme-dependent behaviour underneath.

Tested passthrough

Below the ceiling the signal is unchanged, asserted by an automated test on every build.
