Maxwell smart keeps crashing FL, so im stuck with FL limiter followed by barricade.
I think i would rather let it clip than pay over £50 for a limiter. Even freebies can get me up to commercial levels when the track is mixed right

Another great free limiter is LoudMax, try it.

I personally use DMG TrackLimit which is £39.99 and a fine and versatile limiter. I would love to have Pro-L 2, but unfortunately it's out of my budget.

Thanks i'll check loudmax.
Is the DMG keyfile protection, or am i enslaved to a website?

It's just a reg file.

Oh nice! that's a pleasant change. I'll check it out, thanks.
I wish i wasn't bothered by such things, but i can't help feeling i'm just "renting" a plugin, with all the other protections.
Each to their own i suppose

I personally use Barricade 4 the most.I have TDR's limiter which is very good but I don't use it much for some reason. Barricade is rock solid, best ISP suppression of any limiter I've tried, if that's important to you.

I actually have no need, but it's silly not to check out a recommendation. Thanks

Damn, I totally forgot about Unlimited, great recommendation.

Loudmax, Unlimited and Vlad G Limiter No. 6 (not the TDR, I'm poor) are my main limiters, I just wonder why Unlimited isn't as transparent as it should be.

D16 Frontier, George Yohng's W1 limiter, Maxwell Smart or Sachart easyLimiter

LoudMax is kind of the standard in the free 'market'. Chuck the guy a few quid.

George's W1 is good too.

Aradaz Mazimizer is still a winner if you want 0 latency limiting:

TbT TubeLimit is also 0 latency:

So is Antress ModernDynaKiller:

http://www.vst4free.com/free_vst.php?id=1179

And NastyVCS:

We'll leave the argument of 0 latency limiting for another day shall we?

LoudMax is a great track Limiter for drums. But Aradaz is really great as well if you really need 0 latency.

Personally, depending on the genre, I have three paid Limiters that I reach for by default because of the great results I've gotten from them. L2, L3-16, and the Ozone (8) Maximizer.

Non-genre specific and free, VST-wise, I would give it to Limiter6.

What's your go-to Master Limiter?
