Hello all, well, I eventually want to own the new 64bit Sonnox Limiter but for now, could anyone recommend a high quality free VST limiter, or one up to around £30 - £40 maybe, or at least under £100? I want a decent one for my Trance productions.

Just read the review on here of AOM's Invisible Limiter, sounds good, not sure if anyone has used this one?

Cheers.

I'm selling DDMF NoLimits which has served me well up to now (I've now replaced it with a more expensive one) and is bargain-priced $15:

Before I used NoLimits, I found W1 to be a very usable free one:

Good luck!

Funny you should ask, since someone just posted a 10/10 review for this 10 Euro limiter:

Thanks, the DDMF plug looks great, like the gui !!! I'll have a closer look at this later today. Are there any demo tracks it has been used on for listening purposes?

I used barricade for a while before i got no limits.Its a great limiter very invisible and you can really push it while still left with room.For $15!!! its a steal.

I have the old free version somewhere of AOM limiter, lots of headroom maximized and it does seem transparent, I demoed the current one before, seemed about the same. You might be able to download the free one somewhere?

Also TLS Maximizer & Toneboosters Barricade are great+the most headroom of any I've tried.

That W1 limiter is cool indeed! BTW it's intended to be a Waves L1 clone (haven't used the L1 so I can't compare). Sometimes I like to use W1 for vocal limiting after some LA style compression. Don't know how it goes on the mix bus for trance though, haven't tried it in such a situation yet. Why not give it a shot?

Waves L1 has to be the best limiter UI ever devised.

Timerider · Post by **Timerider** » Mon Feb 13, 2012 7:23 am

Wow, the W1 limiter is very good !!!!! Very simple interface but great results!

Just gonna look at Barricade ...... any more very good cheap/free VST limiters anyone?

Great replies here, I'll check all these out, if only the new Sonnox 64 bit Limiter was free! lol !!!

+1 for Elephant: it's one of the best limiters out there. Very transparent with lots of tweaking options.

ThrillseekerLA is going to be an LA-2A type of comp/leveler if I get it right which is not really a brickwall limiter. Though I'm so eager to try it out!

Best VST Brickwall Limiter?
