3.0

Loudness Pro is a mastering limiter with AI from SSG Audio that brings together the clipping and limiting processes into one adaptive processor, for Mac and Windows DAWs. Its on-device AI is real-time, so it continuously rebalances both stages, giving you louder, cleaner, punchier masters without the manual automation. Version 1.1.104 has added a Unity Gain button, gain reduction metering and refined knob controls for a smoother mastering workflow.

SSG Audio Loudness Pro 1.1.104 Overview

Loudness Pro is an AI-driven mastering limiter developed by SSG Audio, a collaboration between the Nuro Audio and Exonic UK development teams, and the sister product to SSG Audio's Optimus mastering system. Rather than forcing engineers to choose between the punchy but potentially harsh character of a clipper and the smoother but less transient-forward behavior of a traditional limiter, Loudness Pro is built to blend both approaches in real time, aiming to deliver the benefits of each without the usual compromises of either. What makes Loudness Pro distinct is how it achieves that blend: an AI system continuously adjusts the balance and individual parameters of an internal clipper and limiter at per-sample resolution, thousands of times per second, a level of real-time control that would be effectively impossible to automate manually. This intelligence sits behind a deliberately minimal, single-knob interface, keeping day-to-day operation simple while the AI processing works underneath without exposing every clipper and limiter parameter for manual tuning — though the plugin can also be used without AI engaged for a more manually controlled, less transparent result.

Key Features

Single-Knob Control Interface The plugin's day-to-day operation centers on a single, simple control, with the AI processing running underneath rather than requiring manual tuning of individual clipper and limiter parameters. Real-Time, No Offline Analysis Required Loudness Pro works entirely in real time, without needing to analyze or process audio offline first, allowing it to respond continuously as the signal passes through during a live mastering session. Local, On-Device Processing All AI-driven processing runs locally on the user's computer, without requiring a cloud connection or external server for its calculations. Auto Dither Control (ADC) ADC applies dithering automatically and only when a 16-bit export actually calls for it, removing the need for engineers to manually toggle dithering based on target bit depth. Low Reported Latency The plugin reports approximately 5ms of latency at 48kHz, keeping it practical for real-time monitoring rather than limiting it to offline-only mastering passes. Unity Gain Button A dedicated Unity Gain button automatically compensates output level, helping engineers make level-matched decisions about the plugin's effect on a master. Gain Reduction Readout A built-in gain reduction readout gives users a clear visual indication of how much the plugin's clipper and limiter stages are working at any given moment.

How to Use SSG Audio Loudness Pro 1.1.104

Enable AI mode to let the plugin dynamically balance clipping and limiting in real time based on your track's content. Adjust the single main knob to control the overall amount of loudness processing being applied. Use the Unity Gain button to automatically compensate output level for accurate, level-matched comparisons. Monitor the Gain Reduction Readout to see how actively the clipper and limiter stages are engaging. If you prefer manual control, disable AI mode and adjust the clipper and limiter balance yourself. Leave Auto Dither Control engaged so dithering is applied automatically only when your export bit depth requires it. Since latency is low enough for real-time use, monitor your master through Loudness Pro live rather than only as an offline final pass.
