Mmm, I've downloaded at 7:34am (-5 GMT), not yet installed, should I download again?

It is just a demo dialog saying Spectra instead of MPL-1 but is is fixed now.

I would get flamed for answering this. I do think you should try the demo

Sure, but I already have better EQ options (ie: linear phase, or dynamic), multi-band compression when I need it (not often), good reverbs etc. The only bits of Ozone that I don't already have well covered are the limiter and the dither.. and if I buy MPL-1 it will be just the dither.

The Dither in MPL-1 works fine but not as effective as UV22, POWR when it comes to CDA mastering. Often Hosts got one of the above ditherings to offer.

Torben, I don't suppose you have some amazing Ozone-killing dither algo up your sleave for the next plug..?

No I do not think so. Making a good dithering is a science in it self and many Hosts already got one of the good ones implemented.

Why, is there some way to buy MegaBitMax seperately?

I think its great because I tested it myself and nothing else came close.

Thanks for the answer! I haven't tested all the famous ones myself, but there's an online comparison somewhere and I remember being somewhat underwhelmed by the likes of UV-22 and the Waves algos.

Oh well, as Bob Katz once said: "if the mix isn't good, or the music isn't swinging, then dither probably doesn't matter very much."

Hi Torben,

I gave the MPL-1 a brief shot on my notebook (PC), it's quiet impressive and probably a must have for me. But as I'm on Mac for my daily work, can you say someting about when it will be released for Mac? And which formats?

Thanks!

i must confess im no limiter expert , however i opened an old project in cubase and put the UAD-1 precison limiter and MPL-1 Master Limiter on the master channel . kept tweeking them both muting each in turn and i was left very impressed with the MPL-1......

....i see what my money situation is like on payday.

Yes its the authentic megabit max dither, although an improved version I heard. They licensed it to Ozone. It says this somewhere at the very old megabit max site, with links provided.

Yep, I would like to know that too. We desperately need a good limiter for the Mac - choices for good limiters are pretty limited on the Mac side, and from the feedback here, yours seems to be the best.

Any plany to release your other stuff for Mac, too?

The MPL-1 is expected to be released for Mac VST and AU in 1-2 month. After that we will release other plugins for Mac.

Bob Katz is copying your quotes these days?

Torben...congrats on this release, mate. I will give it a go tonight...

...by which time this thread will probably be 10 pages long.

I need it faster! Go ahead!

No, just kidding, but when I purchase it today for PC, how will your crossplatform policy be? May I get the Mac version when it's released for free then or have I to buy it again?

Must join in the choral... I really don't know if this is the best limiter available (nor do i have the time to check each other limiter out), but for me, this is THE vst-based limiter. Impressive, even the standart edition doesnt leave out much to ask for, and the price is fair. Great Work

Kjaerhus MPL-1 Master Limiter is NOW AVAILABLE!
