As for limiters, I can only hype up what Neil already mentioned previously. Stay tuned!
Shouldn't you be a promotor for Limitless? Or are there several bManics around?

Limitless is awesome but mainly as a multiband limiter, which is something I don't use very often now that we don't have to crush things into oblivion. If you need to reliably go super loud, then yes, Limitless would be a fine option for that. As a single band limiter only (which you can force it to operate as), it's not as transparent as some other options in my opinion.

Pro-L 2 by Fabfilter. Super transparent.

Combined with Oxford Inflator, absolute weapons

Ozone's IRC5 is one of the best limiters I’ve tried.

PSP Xenon is the very best.

Also on a quite budget friendly sale @ JRR

Best limiter imho is a clipper with a very good balanced mix

Softube's Professor Punch-Knuckles

I believe this. The right clipper on each individual channel can't be beat. A brickwall isp limiter is for the master Bus. Newfangled Elevate by Eventide is another Master Bus option.

Voxengo Elephant is still my goto limiter.

I redraw my peaks by hand in a waveform editor. That’s the best limiter.

Cytomic?

Another +1 for Pro L2 especially on transparent mode with no lookahead. I use it at the end of my master bus chain and on my drums bus.

I just realized that the Transparent algorithm is now exactly 15 years old.

15 years and still the best!
Although the new ozone 12 IIRC 5 might give it a run for its money.
But i always use transparent mode for vocals

Has the new limiter everyone keeps talking about come out yet? It would be great if someone could satisfy our curiosity.

I don't think it is out yet. I believe that both Nil and bmanic do beta testing for Rune so my best bet is that it's a Tone Projects plug. Definitely looking forward to it and I hope that I am right.
