Magnus features a first clipper stage with hard or soft option, for cutting small peaks, then the signal goes to the limiter stage, which threshold is fixed to –0.2dB. Two gain stages are included, the first is very short and the second is longer so that the plug-in can quickly recover from sudden peaks while avoid pumping effects.
The GUI offers a knob for each clipper and limiter feature and you’ll find a release control with values ranging from 1 to 500ms, a tempo-sync Auto-Release button if you’re not familiar with the release feature, a 2x or 4x oversampling switch and meters for the RMS output, the input level of each stage (60 segments) and gain reduction for each stage (10 segments).
Magnus is a VST2/3, AU and RTAS 64-bit plug-in for Mac OS X and Windows, it has a price of 19.90€ and you can download a trial version at www.hornetplugins.com.
