Limiter for iPhone - FAC Maxima First Look (GarageBand iOS).

The number one plug-in that is missing for GarageaBand iPhone and GarageBand iPad is a decent limiter. Compression and EQ can really help, but a limiter can take it to the next level and give your tracks that boost in gain and presence, without losing the quality you have worked hard to achieve.

FAC Maxima is an Audio Unit plug-in by Fred Anton Corvest that aims to fill this gap and provide a limiter solution for iOS. And the great thing is that unlike mastering apps like Final Touch, the plug-in can be used via Audio Units (AU) on iPad and iPhone, making it super versatile.

In this video, I take a "first look" at the plugin but using it on individual tracks (drums, vocals, guitars) in my recent song, and in a future video, I will be using it as a mastering plug-in on a master track to put it through its paces.
