The Canvas Audio Flint Dynamic Limiting Amplifier
The Canvas Audio Flint Dynamic Limiting Amplifier is a no-compromise peak limiting compressor with a very unique design. Taking into account a musically fast fixed attack, the adjustable release speed can really shape this compressor from wild and agressive, to transparent and powerful.
Light up your sound
On the surface, the Flint is dead-simple to use. But under the hood, Flint is built to catch aggressive transients before they can escape the mix. It utilizes a lightning-fast variable attack time, allowing it to behave as a true peak limiter. This carefully engineered response clamps down on quick peaks instantly, making it ideal for pinning down aggressive vocals, slamming drum buses, or injecting raw energy into a track without overthinking the process.
Simple, elegant, fast.
With just a small set of features, Flint packs a massive punch. The compression knob does almost all of the heavy lifting, and sometimes just loading it up does the trick. However if you need just a bit more control, the Input and Output alone can push the compressor into overdrive, making it grittier and more aggressive. An adjustable Release Mod screw helps to re-inject life into your tracks if they are feeling a bit too punched. An additional Lookahead circuit adds a touch of softness to initial peaks, allowing for the smoothest extreme compression you've ever heard.
Everything you need, right in the canvas
Flint's surrounding UI packs a few treats as well, such as sidechain hi-pass filtering, mix control, and a very well dialed Lo-Fi control, perfect for that telephone vocal effect. There is also 4x oversampling and metering, along with a preset menu where you can save your favourite settings or pick from a selection of amazing artist presets.
