Best limiter

[swilow11]

I've got a few limiters (Bx Peak limiter, Bitwig stock, KHS) as well as Ozone which i generally use for mastering. But am building my own mastering chain which currently consists of Kirchoff eq, Shadow Hills comp, Toneboosters Compressor, KClip/Oxford Inflator, and Brainworx True Peak. Not loving any of the limiters I've got so hoping for a few options. Not interested in Fabfilter tbh, too expensive.

I want something that is transparent, easy to use and can be thrown on buses as well as the stereo master. What's good?

Tried pretty much all of them. My favorite is IK Stealth.

If you’re happy with Toneboosters, then definitely try Barricade. Really excellent limiter with a ton of saturation and clipping options.

Ocelot.

LoudMax

Apogee Soft Limiter, or El Juan for something more aggressive.

Sonible Smart Limit

Brainworx True Peak works for me. There is no best, I guess. Often depends on style of music you do.

Voxengo éléphant , acon digital limiter , pro l2 DMG audio limitless and barricade are very good.

Another nice, efficient and flexible alternative that can be had for $11 currently, is Maxhead from Aqusmatiq.

+1 for Barricade. Is rather versatile from transparent -> colored -> brutal. Great interface too.

T-RackS Stealth is really underrated

ClipMax, Loudmax, Wavebreaker, but mainly the free one from Kilohearts.
