No compressors, no limiters, nothing dynamic at all, just gain envelopes doing what a human would draw by hand. Peak Tamer runs standalone at £59.99 with VAT, and mastering engineer Nicky Howard built it.
Rogue peaks get flattened automatically before they reach whatever processor comes next, which keeps distortion, pumping, and assorted artifacts out of the picture. The pitch involves matching hand-drawn automation while moving faster, staying repeatable, and remembering settings.
A big waveform sits center screen with scaling for zooming into anything suspicious. Threshold decides where attenuation kicks in, adjustable in 0.1 dB steps, and a Suggested Threshold function reads the file and proposes a starting point.
Left and right channels link for identical treatment, which guards stereo imaging, or run independently. LF Mode exists for drawn-out peaks that low-frequency energy causes.
Howard frames the target as feeding downstream processors something consistent, not chasing loudness or stamping character onto anything. A handful of controls, results inside a few minutes.
