Clampit Raw

One-Knob Limiter

"One CLAMP knob — tighter, denser, and louder, with Constant Loudness keeping it level-matched."

WHAT IT DOES

Turn one knob and your track gets tighter, denser, and louder-feeling — the same tested limiter engine from the full Clampit, behind a single dial. Clampit Raw drives your signal into a brick-wall ceiling and pins the peaks, so mixes, drums, and full masters sound more controlled instantly. Constant Loudness keeps the output level-matched, so you hear the control change, not just the volume — no menus to dig through.

THE CLAMP KNOB

CLAMP is a single macro that drives the limiter and lowers the ceiling together. At low settings you get gentle peak control. Push it further and the limiter clamps harder — tighter, denser, and louder. Constant Loudness is hard-wired on, so every position stays level-matched and your A/B comparison is honest.

UNDER THE HOOD

True-peak limiting with lookahead — inter-sample peaks are detected via a 4x polyphase-IIR oversampler, and a fixed 1.5 ms per-channel lookahead delay lets the limiter catch peaks before they hit.

Constant Loudness compensation — the limiter cancels the input drive so output level stays matched as CLAMP pushes harder, with a rolling K-weighted (ITU-R BS.1770) LUFS measurement running internally.

Output safety chain — a 5 Hz DC blocker removes asymmetric bias, followed by a re-clip to the ceiling, a per-sample NaN/Inf sweep, and an absolute hard safety limit, with denormals guarded.

Static latency — the lookahead delay is padded to a fixed value and reported once, so the host's plugin-delay compensation never shifts, and audio passes through the same delay line during host bypass so alignment stays correct.

One knob, hidden targets — only CLAMP appears in the host automation list; every pinned Pro parameter is wrapped as non-automatable but still saved and restored with the plugin state.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is Clampit Raw free?

Yes. Clampit Raw is completely free — freeware, no trial, no nag screens, no expiration.

What does the CLAMP knob do?

CLAMP is a macro that drives the signal into a brick-wall ceiling and pins the peaks — tighter, denser, and louder. Constant Loudness keeps the output level-matched, so it gets more controlled, not just louder.

How is Clampit Raw different from Clampit (Pro)?

Clampit Raw gives you the tested Clampit limiter engine behind a single CLAMP knob with Constant Loudness. The full Clampit adds three knee characters (KNOCK/GLUE/CLOBBER), BS.1770 LUFS metering, true peak limiting, lookahead, stereo link, and A/B comparison.

Does Clampit Raw support Apple Silicon?

Yes. Clampit Raw is a Universal Binary that runs natively on Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) and Intel Macs.

Does Clampit Raw add latency?

Clampit Raw uses a fixed 1.5 ms lookahead delay so the limiter can catch peaks before they hit. That delay is padded to a fixed value and reported once, so the host's plugin-delay compensation never shifts mid-stream, and audio is passed through the same delay line during host bypass so track alignment stays correct.

Can I automate Clampit Raw?

Yes — CLAMP is the only host-automatable parameter, so you can automate all the clamping from a single lane. Every hidden Pro parameter (input, ceiling, release, lookahead, true peak, stereo link, and more) is wrapped as non-automatable but still saved and restored with the plugin state.
