Safety Limiter
This plugin is a simple tool to prevent ear damage. As soon as there is a peak above 0 dBFS or the specified threshold, the plugin will cut over to playing SOS in Morse code, gradually fading out again when the input returns back to safe levels. Made for personal use during plugin development and intense sound design sessions, but maybe you'll find it useful too!
Why not use a regular brickwall peak limiter?
The downside of doing that is that you may end up mixing or doing sound design
into that limiter without realizing it. And at that point, you'll probably need
to either redo part of the process. So this plugin simply gives you a very
non-subtle heads up instead of altering the sound.
Download
You can download the development binaries for Linux, Windows and macOS from the automated builds page. Or if you're not signed in on GitHub, then you can also find the latest nightly build here.
The macOS version has not been tested and may not work correctly. You may also have to disable Gatekeeper to use the VST3 version as Apple has recently made it more difficult to run unsigned code on macOS.
Building
After installing Rust, you can compile Safety Limiter as follows:
cargo xtask bundle puberty_simulator --release
