My favourite limiter is almost any limiter as I limit 0.5-1.0db most of the time. No joke this time... K-14 to K-12 strictly and I make quite noisy industrial, go figure

. I like to see people reach for the volume control and turn it up, and then the chorus happens... :-O.

You know, that is a great limiter and it gets overlooked a lot. I think it has a very classic sound, kind of 1176-ish. Kicks ass on drums.
And that reminds me to recommend it to whomever was looking for a "VST/DX tube limiter" earlier...

Ok, if you like Kjaerhus, maybe you like the MPL1. And this threads isn't for Host ¿?¿?

Where's the UAD Precision Limiter? Don't understand how could that have been left off.

Isn't a poll considered research? Or is there some other way to research peoples' favourite limiters?

George Yohng's W1 Limiter, wins with head and shoulders, because of it's price and perfect behaviour.

Wait and see when the kiddies start with kiddies... .. .

See, that's funny; I find it kind of soft-sounding. I'd take the Tls Pocket Limiter over it, maybe BuzMaxi3 also.

bduffy, indeed it is soft sounding (I like that) and I like the BuzzMaxi3 too.
The W1 is so simple though; I even only use 2 of the 3 faders !

Imagine our wife had only 2 buttons to "adjust her"... (for the female members of KvR : change some words in the joke and you can also laugh with it)

None of them

I allways use Blockfish
http://www.digitalfishphones.com/main.p ... &subItem=5

it's one of the god damn best limiters out there even many thinks it's only a compressor.

Try to use it with the compressor turned off and then just turn up the output !
It's amasing !!

Yeah - not only is it DX, I don't think you can get it unless you own Sound Forge. Bad move, it's a brilliant compressor.

I've never felt the need for a payware limiter with all the great freebies avaliable

bduffy · Post by **bduffy** » Wed May 24, 2006 3:32 pm

Yeah, I agree that the free ones are really outstanding, but I think you'll find most mastering guys will say there's a difference between freeware limiters and payware. Don't get me wrong: I don't want that to be true, and we're talking about audiophile stuff here, but for example: a couple months ago I had a mastering contest here and offered up one of my tracks, and one of the guys tried, as an experiment, to do a master with just freeware, because he thought it should be possible given the wuality of freeware these days, and he was unimpressed with the results. There deifinitely was a difference.

Luckily devs like Kjaerhus and Voxengo offer master-grade limiters for next to nothing! And lord knows, the good free ones are great for day-to-day use.

Although I can't imagine slapping Blockfish on a mix...
