Best solution: Kjaerhus Classic Compressor. Seriously.

You can test it yourself.
Use two waves: 20 Hz and 50 Hz, look at a spectrumanalyzer before you engage the liniter, then engage the limiter and look if there are extra peaks, ripples in the (upper) sideband. Be prepared to be shocked in case of a non transparant limiter.

Other test, same procedure: use 40 Hz and 185 Hz.

I'll help you bump. I'd like to know the public opinion as well.

Which is the BuzComp?

I'll test them all, if you want to, but you have to specify which one you mean; there are plenty of Buz compressors in the KVR database, but not one of them is named BuzComp!

clean?? imo that thing sounds really analog coloured, and that in a very high quality ... one of my go-to's when it comes to compressors ...

I can not stress this enough: MjCompressor is THE most transparent freeware compressor, probably one of the best compressors around no matter what the price.

Cheers!

I've had this question for a long time about the MjCompressor. What is this Hilbert thing doing?
