Schwabe Digital Releases HiFAL High Frequency Acceleration Limiter

HiFAL (High Frequency Acceleration Limiter, pronounced “High Fall”) brings a classic vinyl mastering technique into the modern era with the flexibility and precision only digital can offer

What is HiFAL?



HiFAL (pronounced High Fall) adapts a classic vinyl-era mastering technique for modern mixing and mastering. It’s a smart, adaptive, and transparent high-frequency acceleration limiter capable of smoothing brightness without dulling the mix. Powered by our adaptive attack and release technology, transients stay natural while harsh peaks are tamed without losing their shape. On the mix bus, in mastering, or on individual tracks, it delivers bright, clean, controlled top end beyond what typical EQs, suppressors, and compressors are capable of.

HiFAL’s Key Features

Acceleration Limiting with Adaptive Attack & Release – Controls high-frequency dynamics while preserving natural brightness and transient detail.
Dual-Mono and Mid/Side Processing – Shape channels independently or gradually link them for precise control over stereo image behavior.
Parallel Limiter – Inspired by Motown, blend a parallel layer of acceleration-limited highs for brightness that’s present but never harsh.
True Linear Phase Filterbank – Clean, phase-coherent processing that keeps transients sharp and stereo imaging intact.

HiFAL is available now for $159 for new customers and $139 if you already own Gold Clip Pack or Orange Clip 3.
