REQUIREMENTS

  - 64-bit Windows 10 or Windows 11 on an x64 computer
  - A 64-bit DAW that supports VST3 audio effects

This download contains the Windows VST3 edition. It runs inside your DAW.
Follow INSTALL-UNINSTALL.txt before opening the plug-in. That guide also
covers Microsoft's runtime if your DAW reports a missing runtime DLL.

GETTING STARTED

1. Insert Astron Limiter near the end of your output chain. Start with
   Transparent Master, True Peak on, Oversampling at 4x, and Dither off.
2. Set Ceiling for your intended output; the default is -1.0 dBTP.
3. Play the loudest section and raise Gain gradually while watching gain
   reduction and listening for the amount of limiting you want.
4. Start with Auto Release. Compare with Bypass at a sensible listening level.

The orange history shows gain reduction, not the output ceiling. The Ceiling
control and true-peak readout describe the output separately. Lookahead adds
latency, which the plug-in reports to your DAW for delay compensation.

Use 16-bit or 24-bit Dither only for the corresponding final integer export,
with no later processing or additional dither. Leave it off for normal mixing
and floating-point export. The 16-bit Export and 24-bit Export presets enable
dither, so check that setting when changing presets.
