You can try Ceilix-L. It is a parallel saturation hybrid limiter. It is a new release.

Hey everyone,
I’m the creator of the XM Series mastering plugins.
If you haven’t tried these plugins yet, you’re missing out on quite a lot...
XMLimiter is the flagship.
It does not work like the other plugins on the market, and its algorithm/modules are entirely unique. This is the result of many long years of experience and development.
(Most of the newer limiter plugins released in recent times actually came after XMLimiter.)
Their purpose is to preserve your entire soundstage—especially the transients—while delivering the power your music truly needs.
As an audio engineer who has been working in mastering for many years, I developed these plugins by addressing and combining several things I felt were missing in other products on the market.
The algorithms and modules are unique. A few world-renowned mastering engineers and mastering studios that you all know very well have not only approved of them, but have also described them as their new “secret weapons.”
If you haven’t tried them yet, I’d be very curious to hear your thoughts!

My guess is the mystery limiter soon to be revealed is Sonible Smart:limit 2
Hoping it’s Pro-L3

If less is more, imagine how much more MORE will be.

Boz Digital Labs’ The Wall 2 is a lightweight brickwall limiter, and I’ve found myself using it almost all the time.

Do we get any hint on this mystery limiter? Company? Release date? How are we going to know when said limiter drops?nilhartman wrote: Tue Mar 31, 2026 8:35 pmNope. I tried AL-1 public beta and preferred the yet to be released limiter. Well, actually I felt like I didn't need AL-1 and moved on.
As I said in another topic, back when I mentioned that mystery limiter, it was meant to be released promptly. Development meanwhile got extended and a fabulous processor is getting even better, and eventually you'll all see it's really worth the wait.
The teasing was candid and genuine.

I like DMG Limitless, but with its clipper turned off. I haven't really looked into alternatives since I got it because I can't think of the reason to look at others. Completely satisfied with it.

I've been using the Sonible Learn series (they have so many), but it's very good.

I am pretty sure you won't hide your excitement about it when it will be released.

It has limiting functions as well as clipping and soft-clip. The latest v4 release with oversampling works REALLY well - it may not be the loudest limiter out there, but it's definitely a reasonable choice.electro wrote: Sat Oct 18, 2025 4:54 pm Stillwell Event Horizon is an old clipper that beats limiting

I hope it's Pro-L 3 too but I think they mentioned it was not Fabfilter.scott_free wrote: Thu May 07, 2026 8:48 pm My guess is the mystery limiter soon to be revealed is Sonible Smart:limit 2
