What's New in Fair Limiter

1.3

October 20, 2025

- Extra toggle switch that allows to choose between simulation (CPU intensive but better sound quality) or approximation of the tubes. - Double tap on a control to revert to the default value. - Higher precision control when dragging. Vertical dragging on a knob makes large changes to the knob value, while horizontal dragging on a knob applies very fine changes to the knob value. - The oversample rate and the tube simulation/approximation toggle value are not saved anymore with the presets, but are kept as a global state. This allows to choose the best setting for your current hardware (higher oversample rate gives better results but uses more CPU power. Simulation gives better results but uses more CPU power). Flipping through the presets will not change your CPU usage setting anymore.

Idk yet

As soon as I even tap the button to download it, this app already shuts off my GarageBand app which was open and monitoring my mic etc, and I hear some distortion and then when I download it and try to open it in garageband it just fuzzes out completely. I’ve tried restarting device, deleting app and Re downloading again and get the same exact results. Device is up to date and have space. Anyone know what the issue might be here? Was excited to try and likely buy this app as I recall hearing Geoff Emmerick talking about it….
