Try to disable 3 to 6 in the FLstudio plugin wrapper (choose a channel you don't use f.i. 103) And it works.
Unless you try to mix 5.1 then I don't know what's going on...
Thanks for the setting, gotta start testing it in a few days.piranha81 wrote:After some testing using it as a mastering maximizer I've found that Unlimited is as good as it gets in the freeware maximizer world, and thanks to the Classic Mode (volume won't get up as treshold goes down) , True Peak with ISP awareness,etc. is the most versitile and easy to use.
Tested against Limiter n6, DeadDuck Limiter, Loudmax, Limiter Snapin and others, the only one that gets louder without pumping and/or loosing bass is Limiter n6 used with two limiting stages and multiband clipping.
With Limiter6 used only the multiband clipping stage before Unlimited I've got a even clearer result than L6 alone.
Try it with sharpest Character setting, True Peak and experiment on Response, you'll have your limiting needs satisfied
Have you tried Loudmax 1.31? It was released just a few days ago (older versions don't sound as good IMO).michal.ochedowski wrote: Sun Sep 01, 2019 6:48 am I tested latest available build 170823 of this limiter. Just a heads up. When used in Classic Mode, True Peak button did absolutely nothing with the signal. I checked it multiple times. There was plenty of intersample peaks that went through. Example: Threshold set to -7 dB, Out set to 0 dB, Character - half way between Sharp and Dull, Response - Limit, True Peak engaged. I also checked different settings for Character parameter. In every scenario True Peaks could get through. Values on my ISP meter were around -6.7 dB instead of staying at -7 dB.
Unlimited is by far the best and most transparent free limiter available. I just wish it had actual ability to take care of ISPs.
I've been using LoudMax version 1.30. Haven't checked the latest one yet. It is a beast because with moderate (around 4 dB) limiting and ISP engaged, only tiny amount of intersample peaks gets through it. I'm talking second decimal place here, so really negligible stuff.heavymetalmixer wrote: Mon Sep 02, 2019 4:48 am Have you tried Loudmax 1.31?

I see that you tested Unlimited for while, so let me ask you something: Don't you notice that Unlimited does something weird to the Stereo field? IMO it sounds like Unlimited is Stereo-Unlinked.michal.ochedowski wrote: Tue Sep 03, 2019 5:31 amI've been using LoudMax version 1.30. Haven't checked the latest one yet.

In my comparison Unlimited sounded more crisp and retained transients very well. However after a closer look at the waveform, I'm suspecting that it uses some amount of soft clipping during the process. Transients are cut very precisely. LoudMax just lowers the amplitude while preserving more less original waveform shape.
Of course it all depends on audio material. Very subjective stuff. LoudMax is a winner when it comes to being efficient and very simple to use + it has ISP that actually works.
My tests were based on drums and bass lines, so I haven't checked Unlimited with a wide stereo signal. On the other hand not all drum loops that I used were mono.I see that you tested Unlimited for while, so let me ask you something: Don't you notice that Unlimited does something weird to the Stereo field?

Yeah, it's down. The dev abandoned the plugins since 2017, I guess he thought it was time to put everything to an end.
Damn that's shitty. I like these plugs and was hoping that they'd continue developingheavymetalmixer wrote: Sun Oct 27, 2019 10:44 pmYeah, it's down. The dev abandoned the plugins since 2017, I guess he thought it was time to put everything to an end.
Gain reduction is per channel. I don't know if this is normal behaviour for limiters.heavymetalmixer wrote: Tue Sep 03, 2019 6:34 am Don't you notice that Unlimited does something weird to the Stereo field? IMO it sounds like Unlimited is Stereo-Unlinked.
