The Limiter That Lets You Go Further

Craft stunning masters that deliver maximum loudness, density and presence.

Pushing your mix to the limit can feel risky—you want more loudness, but you don’t want to crush the life out of it. That’s where the Oxford Limiter steps in. Designed to deliver maximum loudness while preserving your mix’s detail and energy, it lets you go further than you ever thought possible.

Where other limiters crumble under pressure, the Oxford Limiter stands strong. It gives you the confidence to push harder, keeping every hit, kick, and snare punchy and defined.

Loudness Without Compromise

You’ve worked hard to perfect the dynamics of your track—the thump of the kick, the snap of the snare, the space and depth in the mix. The last thing you want is to crush the life out of it at the final stage. With the Oxford Limiter, you don’t have to choose between loudness and life.

Make Your Music Stand Out with the Enhance Section

The loudness wars may be over, but everyone’s still fighting for that perfect -4 LUFS. In a world where loudness matters, the Enhance section is your secret weapon. It elevates the perceived loudness of your track, giving your music the punch it needs to stand out—whether it’s streaming, radio, or the club.

The Enhance section pushes your mix beyond conventional limits, adding a final polish without dulling your sound. Your track stays crisp, full of life, and ready to take on any platform.

Why Oxford Limiter is Essential for Your Mixes

Think of the moments when your track hits just right—the energy is palpable, the clarity is there, and every element has its space. Now, imagine being able to push that feeling even further. With the Oxford Limiter, you can boost your music’s impact while keeping what matters most—the punch, dynamics, and emotion.
