Brick limiters vs regular Limiters

Maybe i just want to "tame" the transients with a bit longer attack

A longer attack time is likely to exaggerate the transients, not tame them.

For me this is true anyway:

0ms-1ms attack = squash
5-10ms attack = tame
20ms and above = letting most of it through


I was comparing to the ones that dont have an attack knob and the attack is fixed at a very short value.

Where did you dig that rubbish up from? Don't go by the numbers: they don't mean anything.

i know they dont mean anything but this was just to illustrate.... can put other numbers there, it all depends on the material. Just what i meant with the word "tame" compared to squash

I suppose there are no multi-band brickwalls, are there? Not surprising, I suppose, given how many negative comments about the concept of mutli-band limiters I've seen. Does seem like a good way to get into trouble.

There's the T-RackS Multi-band Limiter. Actually, I find it very useful and use it a lot.

On tracks or buss?

I use it on the master buss usually limiting around 3 db depending on the track. Then it's followed by the Classic Clipper.
