No. Before it gets out of hand and speculations start flying. It has nothing to do with FabFilter.

Yes, I already knew this wasn’t from Fabfilter.

I had already asked...

ReaLimit is pretty good.

Acceleration limiter.

anyone else check this out yet? it's impressive (altho, sigh, ilok...)...

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

Fabfilter Pro-L is my go-to, but since that’s ruled out, I’ll throw out my probably unpopular opinion: the new Waves L4 Ultramaximizer. Personally, I’m a pretty big fan of Waves, love their low prices/sales, and don’t mind the WUP, but most people here feel much differently. I bought it right after release and have been using it mostly on my drum, bass, and synth busses with very good (clean and transparent) results.

Stillwell Event Horizon is an old clipper that beats limiting

Hopeful speculation = Tone Projects Mastering Limiter

If that's the case it'll come with a $350 price tag.

Pro-L 3?

If it came with a fully featured clipper and multiband similar to Limitless or DynOne that would be absolutely sick... for me probably be the closest possible thing to an 'instabuy'.

As great as Tone Projects plugins are, something about them doing a limiter doesn't excite me. IMO the best limiters all have modern UIs, excellent visual feedback, and are easy to dial in... things that are not really in TP's wheelhouse.

There's alot of good limiters, hard to call anything "best" because that is purely subjective. As you can tell by this thread, ask for the best and you end up with a list of pretty much all of them. So, not really helpful.

I have a few of them too, but I can say the new kid on the block that has caught my eye/ear at the moment is the new L4. Quick no fuss UI still gives you plenty of control and it enables you to pull up a really good sound really quickly. I dare say there is some real intelligent context aware stuff going on under the hood.

Or at least, this has been my experience so far with it.

newfangled elevate is my go to. easy to work with, sounds great, and can really be pushed without falling apart if that’s your thing. not to mention the other tools that come with it are all phenomenal. it blows my mind that it doesn’t get more recognition than it does

I just want to know when we're getting a Bettermaker Mastering Limiter 2.0 plugin.

Shouldn't you be a promotor for Limitless? Or are there several bManics around?
