Thanks for the breakdown GAC. The more I use it the more I like it. I'm considering a purchase. Why do you say that GPP1 does something that nothing out there can do. I already have Elephant (and Vintage Warmer) and thought that that Finis (Elemental Audio) was superior when I tried out the demo. What does GPP1 have that these other limiters do not? (Smoother, no latency?)

The difference is that GPP1 is a limiter with a sound, and the others you mentioned are for transparent mastering use.feyshay wrote:What does GPP1 have that these other limiters do not? (Smoother, no latency?)
GPP1 works a whole lot better within mixdowns, as it does sound shaping too. It's not really subtle, although it can do that too.

Greetings,
The main difference between a mastering limiter and the GPP-1 is that the GPP-1 is compressing the peaks and not necessarily limiting them (it got adjustable knee where master limiters got a fixed hard knee). In the "old days" you would get a somewhat similar effect when recording to a tape since peaks would be compressed by tape saturation. It is good for taming peaks without squashing them.
