ToneBoosters Barricade is a studio-quality, professional, true-peak limiter and peak compressor AUv3 / IAA plug-in with a gorgeous interface and integrated ITU / EBU compliant loudness measurement.
The ToneBoosters Barricade app captures the microphone input and processes the signals in real time. To use it as a plug-in, use an AUv3-compatible host app such as Steinberg Cubasis, Apple Garageband, Audio Evolution Mobile Studio, Auria, AUM, or others. ToneBoosters Barricade will appear in the list of Audio Unit extensions for effect plug-ins.
Key features:
- Studio-grade, transparent peak limiting
- The same professional sound as the acclaimed desktop version
- ITU and EBU-compliant true-peak limiting option
- Integrated ITU and EBU compliant loudness meter
- Input modeller for analog circuitry simulation and saturation
- Accurate metering of input and output levels, as well as attenuation
- Simultaneous peak, peak hold, and RMS metering
- Fully automatic, content dependent or manual tuning of limiter behaviour
- Undo/redo, and A/B comparison
- Color themes for the user interface
- Max screen support in Garageband
- Legacy Inter-App Audio (IAA) support
- Optimised for iPad and compatible with iPhone and iPod Touch
What you should know:
- Inter-App Audio (IAA) can only use one instance of this app simultaneously. We recommend to use an AUv3 host to use multiple instances.
- Licenses acquired for this platform are not compatible with other platforms.
- Audio Unit (AUv3) extensions require an iPad mini 2, iPad 4 or later models.

A must have for live keyboardists
I use this live on stage with my AUs. A big issue with iOS music is that the levels are EVERYWHERE. I initially was using the TB compressor to reign in the dynamic range, but barricade is insanely better suited to this task.
PROS:
-Low dsp (as long as you don’t use the built in compressor)
-Boost the gain towards the ceiling at -1 dbfs and you’ll be able to bring up those super quiet piano apps (cough*Korg*cough). Seriously, boost the gain on the Ivory Pianos inside module and they come to life LIVE — not just on playback in a daw.
-place Barricade on a bus to make certain your whacky synth app that sometimes glitches doesn’t blow some speakers
-the audition capability is great to make sure you aren’t over limiting, or getting rid of part of the sound you’d like to keep
-SATURATION. Most of you probably don’t even realize there’s multiple saturation algorithms that work on an adjustable threshold. The mixer, mild, and tape algorithms work really well to contain the digital artifacts in some synths, or grunge up the tone to get a little lower-fi
-virtually no latency. I play live at 64 samples. Pianos, clav, b3, synths, etc. This limiter, unlike most of the others on iOS, does not affect playability.
-an actual manual
CONS:
-Graph layout is a little odd, not particularly intuitive, and looks fuzzy on AUv3 (standalone is clear). Do read the manual to do anything more advanced than brick wall limiting.
Awesome stuff ToneBoosters!
FINALLY, a plug in that does the job
Best compressor I’ve used for IOS, best limiter. Finally a plug in that functions like it should. Well worth $13
Perfect! No Latency!
Buy the fabfilter, buy the Fac, and this is the only limiter that does not introduce latency !!! and it sounds great !!! it is perfect!
HQ Plugins !
Highly recommended! 🤩
Top notch
Really great 👍
The best you will find, don’t let the price fool you
Top notch compressor and limiter, there is none better available for your iPad or iPhone.
If you do audio on your iOS device, just get this.
You’re welcome.
