Someone already tested it?
Someone already an opinion?

[RobinWood]

Havn't tested it yet, but the description itself put me off already. Too much marketing bs.

I'm trying the demo now and first impression is that it's very CPU hungry. Does what supposed to do, limits. I don't find the tone control particularly useful. The metering is nice.

You can change the color of the GUI elements but I don't see a way to resize the plugin however it's a perfect size at 1080p, don't know how that would translate to 4k. Perhaps it auto resizes based on resolution.

Like all the PA effects plugins I've tried it uses your DAW's preset handling which for their list price I find a bit clunky.

I've got a boat load of limiters and this one doesn't impress me enough to justify even the $130 price. I'm sure others will disagree.

So I'll pass based on the high CPU demand and price tag. I don't think it will be particularly tempting even when it hits the $29 mega sale range in a year or two but again others will no doubt disagree.....

[Effectsworks]

Erm... I've quite a few limiters already. Not exactly anything new here.

And my favorite thus far is Pro-L2 so no real need to even demo this one I guess.

$29?

[pixel85]

I didn't tested it yet but it's obviously a game changer.

On a serious note I'll be surprised if it will beat limiters like Ozone.

$29?

Next year when the drop the price as they normally do.

I am very happy they released a new limiter with a more up to date interface, i will get in the black friday sale for 29 surely.

[plexuss]

Too late to the game Di*k.

[FapFilter]

Too late to the game Di*k.

for $29 in a few months it won't be too bad of a deal for someone who doesn't have a decent limiter yet though (provided this one is actually decent of course)

I've been comparing limiters lately doing more self-mastering and I'll definitely try this one out. I have been getting good results with Stealth Limiter . I am intrigued regarding their comments regarding how they optimized the oversampling mode to reduce artifacts. Although I doubt I could hear them even if present. Some of these technical claims would have us grow oscilloscopes for ears and spectrum analyzers for eyes. And with that a whole boat-load of people will claim that they can instantly hear the improvement as they can penetrate their now 3d mixes with their improved sound stage and ever so sweet lingering reverb tails before they breakup at the onset of noise which is audible to them at -120db. But I digress.

Very true! Good budget plugins.

[muki]

i don't see any lookahaed, oversampling and dither options/button/dials
am i blind or are they hidden somewhere... ?
or considered to be a thing of the past?

$29?

They do regular sales where you can pick any plugin in their roster for $29. During black friday sales I think they do three or five days in a row where you can use a $29 coupon each day.
