Features & Capabilities

FAC Maxima is an AUv3 audio effect that provides automatic gain control to keep your audio levels steady and below 0dB. It uses a clever combination of dynamic processors and a unique signal path to offer a gentle, transparent boost or a colorized maximization, depending on your needs.

It shines on both final masters and individual tracks. Use it to tighten vocals, shape drums, or push reverb tails, while maintaining consistent loudness in real time. The interface features a real-time multi-waveform graph and a 6-second audio buffer before and after processing, giving clear visual feedback for precise parameter tuning. Ideal for mastering engineers, DJs, and broadcast work, FAC Maxima makes complex gain control easy and expressive.

User Reviews

FAC Maxima is widely praised for high-quality sound and a life-like limiter; it works across iOS DAWs (GarageBand, Logic Pro) with AUv3 and MIDI control, and is regarded as good value. The main recurring drawback is a learning curve from limited documentation. Overall, it’s considered a top-tier mastering/limiting tool for iOS.
Pros
  • Excellent sound quality with a punchy, present limiter that adds life to tracks.
  • AUv3/host integration with MIDI toggle across iOS hosts (e.g., AUM), enabling on/off control from within the workflow.
  • Broad compatibility with major iOS DAWs, especially GarageBand iOS and Logic Pro.
  • Great value and pricing; regarded by reviewers as a must-buy.
Cons
  • Learning curve due to a lack of clear in-app instructions, making onboarding slower for new users.

I would give this app a higher rating if I could figure out how to use it. I bought this app to use as a plugin for LumaFusion. I have tried to use it like I use any of the builtin audio plugins. I get no audio and adjusting any of the controls does nothing. If I disable this plugin I hear my audio. This might be a newbie issue but if I can't get it to work I can't rate it 5 stars. I really would love to give it 5 stars because I need this type of plugin. Any advice, help. I am running app/plugin in LumaFusion 5.2 on my M2 iPad Pro running iPadOS26.
