SKYE Clipper (Stereo)

SKYE Clipper is a clipper and saturator that can be used for mixing, mastering and creative sound design.

It includes 7 different clipping types, utilising our sophisticated proprietary real-time anti-aliasing algorithms, with a sleek, feature rich and yet simple user interface. Clippers are a great way to add perceived volume to your tracks by shaving off the peaks and adding more body by introducing harmonic saturation that can create a rich, punchy and fuller sound. They also work great as saturators to add some grit and crunch on your instruments.

What does SKYE Clipper Do?

SKYE Clipper lets you choose between different clipping styles to help control peaks, add loudness to your mix, or to add saturation to your audio. This means it can be used in a variety of scenarios like taming a snare, bus processing, or to add texture to a synthesiser. You can look back over your audio to check your processing with our scalable history view for precision work. Drop it on the master and push the signal into clipping to emulate A-D Convertor clipping.

Remove unwanted aliasing artefacts

SKYE Clipper uses our proprietary real time anti-aliasing algorithms to drastically reduce the amount of aliasing artefacts produced by clipping. This removes the need to use high upsampling ratios that are known to cause an increase in CPU usage that slows down performance.

Automated parameters

SKYE Clipper has a control panel where you can control its Pre-gain, Threshold, Clipping Type, Gain Link, Post-Gain and Dry-Wet Mix. All parameters are fully automatable in your DAW and all controls can also be fine tuned by holding the shift modifier while dragging.

Get the surround version for spatial mixing

With ambisonic mixing becoming more prevalent, we ensure our plugins are prepared. SKYE Clipper Surrond is compatible with up to 7.1.4 surround sound including Dolby Atmos, as well as Stereo and Mono configurations.

BUTE Loudness Suite 2

BUTE Loudness Suite 2 is a smart, integrated and responsive loudness metering and audio limiting plugin that delivers the tools studios, media and broadcasting producers need to mix and master professional audio within loudness specifications.

What Does BUTE Do?

Many producers are moving towards mixing and mastering within loudness specs set internally or by major streaming and broadcasting platforms for quality assurance. By providing metering and limiting functions in the same plugin with smart workflow features to maintain creative flow, BUTE helps optimise the quality of mixes and masters, while avoiding potential distortions downstream.

Smart, Synchronised Workflow For Broadcasting, Post and Games

Loudness metering tools are ideal for balancing music, dialogue and sound effects whether in stereo or up to Atmos 7.1.2 surround sound. Long-form content is made much easier to deal with using our smart history overview. Get an overview of up to 10-hours of content and navigate to any section of a track with ease using the interactive display. BUTE’s custom alert system will clearly point out areas where there are errors with True Peak overshoots. A wide array of industry-standard presets are included.

Mixing And Mastering With BUTE

BUTE plugins are compatible with VST, AU and AAX (including Audio Suite), so will synchronise harmoniously with almost any DAW. Signum Audio’s smart auto re-metering feature gives instantaneous feedback on how loudness will be affected by changes to the mix so there is no need to re-meter the whole mix. Readings for Absolute/Relative Scale, True Peak/LUFS and Max/Live modes are easy to toggle between from the main display.

Powerful Compact Read-Out View

When screen estate and CPU are at a premium, a compact read-out helps keep things optimised. BUTE is completely resizable. Even while in compact view, easily switch between display settings and tweak limiting configurations, while saving screen estate for other programs.

Stay Faithful To Your Mix

Smooth out peaks by adjusting pre-gain and selecting a preset release curve – Transparent, Natural or Smooth – which have been designed to make gain reduction as un-noticeable as possible. The release time configures automatically based on multiple properties of the input signal, and the dial is used to set the multiplication factor of the calculated release time, enabling fine-tuning. BUTE can also be utilised as a maximiser to push quieter mixes louder whilst taking care of True Peak overshoots. The result? The audio stays faithful to the original sound, whilst fitting the loudness spec of any platform.

Bring Your Music To All Streaming Platform

All the tools in your hand to make your music sound optimal on Spotify, YouTube, TIDAL, Apple Check and more. We regularly update presets and include most platforms. User-defined presets for internal standards can also be created and saved. 

BUTE Loudness Normaliser & BUTE Limiter 2

Audio normalisation becomes a breeze with Signum Audio’s automated solution, BUTE Loudness Normaliser, which comes in addition to the Suite as a standalone application. Perfect for a final check for True Peak overshoots. Simply drag and drop audio files into the standalone application, hit render and then export. Also included is Signum Audio’s well-received BUTE Limiter 2 is a dedicated limiting plugin offering additional “Pumping” and “Linear” curves for creative music production.

BUTE Loudness Normaliser (Stereo)

Automated loudness normalisation for making those final checks and giving you absolute peace of mind.

The BUTE Normaliser is a high-end standalone application for Windows and Mac, assisting post-production engineers with the final checks of the mastering journey. With our automated solution, you can rest assured your audio is on point before submission in just a few clicks.

Simply Effective

It’s incredibly easy to normaliser your files using our interface:

  • 1) Drag in your WAV file.
  • 2) Select one of the many presets, or set your custom parameters using our unique system.
  • 3) Hit “Analyse” and get an in-depth analysis with alerts to areas that require Bute’s attention.
  • 4) Click “Comply” to normalise your audio – the metering graph clearly shows the extent of true peak limiting.

Audiophile Quality

Our advanced metering algorithm has been optimised to deliver superior sound quality and accurate results. The integrated true peak limiter provides absolute transparency and peace of mind that there are no overshoots getting through, whilst still normalising to target. Due to our approach, the relative dynamics of your audio will be affected as little as possible and you’ll be left with consistent, compliant masters of your audio files every single time. This makes it great as a final check for your mastering journey.

Applications

MAIN FEATURES

Built-In Presets

By boasting a comprehensive range of industry standards and recommendations, the Bute Normaliser ensures that you can tune your productions to the needs of your clients with minimal effort. We will keep these up-to-date and you can create and save your own presets as well.

Bute is fully compliant with all revisions of ITU-R BS. 1770, EBU R128, ATSC A/85, OP-59, ARIB TR-B32, Spotify, YouTube, Apple Check, Hulu, Netflix (including the latest revision), TIDAL, Sony Gaming (ASWG), AES Streaming Recommendation, US Public Radio (PRSS), TIDAL and Pandora.

Alert System

The colour-coded alert system notifies you if there are areas of your audio file that go out-with your desired target. You can see these areas in red on the history timeline. In addition, our custom alert system also allows you to finetune the alerts for all the readouts to your specific needs. These will appear in yellow.

Drag & Drop

Import and export your files with a simple drag & drop. Please note that the BUTE Normaliser only processes one file at a time. If you are looking for Batch Processing, then our server-based enterprise solution is what you are looking for.

High-Speed Processing

We understand that loudness compliance can be a time critical task at the end of a project. Our high speed processing will meter, limit and normalise your audio in record time.

Built-In True Peak Limiter for Peace of Mind

Our novel design approach to the true peak limiter is an industry first, and it provides absolute transparency whilst ensuring no peak will ever go over the threshold. A gain reduction display shows you where and how much the limiter reduced your mix.

Import & Export in Multiple Formats

We support the standard .WAV 42bit 48KHz for broadcasting with all its pull up and pull down variants. In addition, we also support .flac, .mp3, .aiff, and more.

Measurable Parameters

See clearly laid out readings for overall integrated loudness, loudness range, short-term and momentary loudness, RMS and true-peak. These can be toggled on and off, so you only see the information you require.

Flexible and Scalable

We give you the flexibility to adjust and integrate the Normaliser into your current work space. You can minimise it at the click of a button to divert your attention to other things.

BUTE Limiter 2 Stereo

Smooth, Ultra-Transparent True Peak Brickwall Limiting with support for Multiple Workflows.

Note: This product is the Stereo version. You can purchase the Surround Sound version here.

Ultra-Transparent Limiting

BUTE Limiter 2 delivers “high fidelity, ultra-transparent true peak brickwall limiting with a streamlined and sleek user interface”.

Comprehensive yet Flexible UI

Whether you’re looking for an in-depth analysis of your master or a compact readout – BUTE Limiter 2 can do it all.

BUTE Limiter 2 Features a resizable history view which lets you interactively examine true peak, gain reduction, threshold and output readings – you can choose to see an overview of your whole master or zoom in to a particular part. If any true peak overshoots are introduced via the post gain functionality, BUTE Limiter 2 will flag them prominently in the history with warnings. The history also supports re-metering via automatic DAW sync and will get updated if you change your limiter settings so you can see how your new settings affect your audio.

Support for Multiple Workflows

BUTE Limiter 2 includes a Pre Gain to push or reduce the incoming signal’s volume before Limiting as well as Post Gain that will be applied after limiting.

The plugin can be configured to highlight either the limiter output or the overall output, that is limiter output with applied Post Gain. So whether you like to push the limiter via Pre Gain like a maximiser, or limit your signal and then use Post Gain to make up for the change in volume – BUTE Limiter 2 provides you with a streamlined display for your workflow.

BUTE Loudness Suite 2 (Surround)

BUTE Loudness Suite 2 is a smart, integrated and responsive loudness metering and audio limiting plugin that delivers the tools studios, media and broadcasting producers need to mix and master professional audio within loudness specifications.

What Does BUTE Do?

Many producers are moving towards mixing and mastering within loudness specs set internally or by major streaming and broadcasting platforms for quality assurance. By providing metering and limiting functions in the same plugin with smart workflow features to maintain creative flow, BUTE helps optimise the quality of mixes and masters, while avoiding potential distortions downstream.

Smart, Synchronised Workflow For Broadcasting, Post and Games

Loudness metering tools are ideal for balancing music, dialogue and sound effects whether in stereo or up to Atmos 7.1.2 surround sound. Long-form content is made much easier to deal with using our smart history overview. Get an overview of up to 10-hours of content and navigate to any section of a track with ease using the interactive display. BUTE’s custom alert system will clearly point out areas where there are errors with True Peak overshoots. A wide array of industry-standard presets are included.

Mixing And Mastering With BUTE

BUTE plugins are compatible with VST, AU and AAX (including Audio Suite), so will synchronise harmoniously with almost any DAW. Signum Audio’s smart auto re-metering feature gives instantaneous feedback on how loudness will be affected by changes to the mix so there is no need to re-meter the whole mix. Readings for Absolute/Relative Scale, True Peak/LUFS and Max/Live modes are easy to toggle between from the main display.

Powerful Compact Read-Out View

When screen estate and CPU are at a premium, a compact read-out helps keep things optimised. BUTE is completely resizable. Even while in compact view, easily switch between display settings and tweak limiting configurations, while saving screen estate for other programs.

Stay Faithful To Your Mix

Smooth out peaks by adjusting pre-gain and selecting a preset release curve – Transparent, Natural or Smooth – which have been designed to make gain reduction as un-noticeable as possible. The release time configures automatically based on multiple properties of the input signal, and the dial is used to set the multiplication factor of the calculated release time, enabling fine-tuning. BUTE can also be utilised as a maximiser to push quieter mixes louder whilst taking care of True Peak overshoots. The result? The audio stays faithful to the original sound, whilst fitting the loudness spec of any platform.

Bring Your Music To All Streaming Platform

All the tools in your hand to make your music sound optimal on Spotify, YouTube, TIDAL, Apple Check and more. We regularly update presets and include most platforms. User-defined presets for internal standards can also be created and saved. 

BUTE Loudness Normaliser & BUTE Limiter 2

Audio normalisation becomes a breeze with Signum Audio’s automated solution, BUTE Loudness Normaliser, which comes in addition to the Suite as a standalone application. Perfect for a final check for True Peak overshoots. Simply drag and drop audio files into the standalone application, hit render and then export.
