I think I said above I love Toneboosters Barricade.
The discussion of the Waves ones, which I also have, made me think of another I tested for a young friend just getting into recording and in need of all free stuff.

There is a beta bug's version and I either have a GUI less one or installed it wrong but it works well and (after the first round of stuff I'd sent him which elicited a novella worth of 'how to' questions) the simplicity was nice for the quality.

You have to at least try the Sonnox Limiter - it can colour the sound and has a way of giving your music a kick up the backside (hello low end tight thump), but you can really drive it a crazy amount, adjust attack and release et volia transient punch is back and distortion smoothed out.
The enhance feature is a bit noisy but adding a touch can give some additonal girth to your sound. Worth a try.

I think there definitely is. It's a good limiter, but I wouldn't say a good Brickwall Limiter. I couldn't get it to act right for a mix and assumed for a while that Toneboosters Barricade would be the same thing. I was wrong. It easily compares to Fab's Pro-L. TB's Compressor serves as an awesome buss compressor by the way.ferez21 wrote:Is there a significant difference between the old (now free) and the new version of Barricade?

Entirely different. The new TB Barricade is completely re-designed,ferez21 wrote:Is there a significant difference between the old (now free) and the new version of Barricade?
is way more transparent in its limiting action, has true-peak limiting
functionality, auto-saturation, noise shaping/dithering, etc...

For the money, and perhaps a lot more, you can't do better. TB Barricade, and Voxengo Elephant.

Agreed! Barricade is used here at least as often as the usual suspects.
It's just ridiculous how good value for money the Toneboosters plugins are. If I'd be running an audio engineering school of some kind I would have every single student purchase the full toneboosters bundle as a prerequisite to signing up for the course.
In my opinion, TB plugins are leading the bang-for-the-buck race. Heck, even if they were priced a helluva lot more they'd still be in the fight at the top spot for almost any category!
Then there's the beautifully simple copy protection and support for many different formats. You just can't go wrong with the lot.
Very happy TB plugins owner here!
EDIT: and I absolutely urge you all seeing this to give the newest TB plugin FIX a thorough demo! It's a remarkably capable plugin!
Cheers!

I'm more or less re-stating what others have posted, but Pro-L if you have the cash and Barricade if you don't.
