NUGEN ISL DSP HDX extension only

NUGEN ISL DSP HDX extension only - DSP HDX Expansion | Broadcast-Grade True Peak Limiter for Avid HDX Systems

Ultimate Transparency, Perfect Compliance: Ensure Your Audio Safely Passes Any Platform.

NUGEN ISL is an expansion plugin, a True Peak Limiter specifically designed for Avid Pro Tools HDX systems, allowing you to focus on creative audio production while automatically handling tricky true peak compliance issues. Utilizing industry-standard true peak algorithms like ITU-R B.S. 1770, ISL is an ideal choice for film and TV post-production, music mastering, and broadcast applications. Traditional sample peak limiters cannot prevent clipping distortion caused by codec processing (e.g., MP3, AAC), whereas NUGEN ISL precisely controls true peaks, ensuring your work maintains its original sound quality and dynamics on any playback platform. This version, designed for Avid HDX hardware acceleration, offloads all heavy computation to the HDX processing card, freeing up your valuable CPU resources and providing stable, reliable broadcast-grade audio processing power for large projects.

You no longer need to repeatedly guess or deliberately leave excessive headroom to avoid downstream issues. Simply set your true peak limit, and let ISL handle the rest. With its exceptional transparency and certification from the Netflix Production Technology Alliance, ISL has become the trusted standard for daily work in thousands of top studios worldwide.
