Alias Factor
Figure 410. Alias Factor
Alias Factor combines bit crushing and low pass filtering in a unique way, allowing you to decimate
your audio to create tones as varied as vintage samplers, cell phones, or old video games.
Decimator effects are nothing new, but Alias Factor generates this effect using a special technique
that generates aliasing without the unwanted harsh effects provided by other options, offering
sounds that are grainy in a “smooth” and organic way. Alias Factor also allows for further creation of
attention grabbing new timbres by linking a low pass resonant filter to the decimator for a new
means of tweaking your sound.

Boost 11 Peak Limiter
Figure 411. Boost 11 Peak Limiter
The Boost 11 Peak Limiter is a transparent peak limiting and volume maximizing plug-in for mixing
and mastering purposes; it is designed to reduce peak levels without coloring the sound. Boost 11
uses a “look-ahead” limiter algorithm to prevent output clipping and PDR (Program Dependent
Release) to minimize pumping (audible fluctuations of the volume) and maximize the loudness.
“Look-ahead” means the limiter analyzes the audio input ahead of time by delaying the output for
approximately 1.5 ms. Boost 11 supports sampling rates up to 192 kHz, mono and stereo operation,
and double precision processing.
Boost 11’s features include:
