Doesn't seem to include any presets, no, but that kind of makes sense with the feature set if you think about it. Kind of threw me at first, too. Looks "odd."

And the red light of soft clipping doesn´t work, too.

The red light district works fine here

No presets but it's a limiter, how hard is it to set it and forget it

Sounds ace imo especially for free.

Thanks D16, this will definitely find it's place in my arsenal.

Now, to prove that no good deed goes unpunished: Can we please have a larger GUI for other products as well?

If you're finding it too aggressive, turn off the soft-clip option. It turns into a very different effect that can be fairly transparent if you want.

That said, I am only keeping it for its smash-and-distort capability, "transparent" being already well-covered by my existing limiters that also offer finer control.

I'm sure they will come with the v2's of those products.

it's transparent if you just use it as a volume protector (no threshold). for volume maximizing it will only do it with added colour. but it's a colour that can work on some tracks. and slams nicely if used as an effect. can't complain for a freebie. thanks d16

and the GUI is awesome.

feels like having hardware on screen. amazing realism.

It smashes drums in a way like Soundtoys´ Devil Loc Deluxe when I hit them hard.
Now I feel I would like to have a dry/wet knob.

And I need that red LED light

This.

From Antresol upwards all Silvers have the new (bigger) GUI - Antresol, Devastor 2, Decimort 2 and now Frontier

Seems nice for "creative limiting", but definitely needs a latency compensated dry/wet control. Trying to use this in parallel seems to cause phasing issues.

this seems to be the first Silverline plugin i won't own. i just have no use for limiters. they're all the same to me, since all they ever do in my tracks is catch an occasional peak.

Joke's on you then.. because you already own it if you have any other D16 plugins.

Burillo · Post by **Burillo** » Wed Apr 20, 2016 8:04 am

eh? did i miss something in the email?

EDIT: oh shit, it's free for me. cool. i doubt it will replace KClip though.

This and KClip have very different purposes in my opinion - just get it and be happy... or don't

As mentioned, it's not exactly super-transparent - but I expected as much from D16... their effects are so characterful. I already have my ultimate transparent limiter (IKM Stealth).

+1 on the GUI increase. Looks great. Love the green VU meter - you can basically see the light casting shadows inside the cavity... that's a cool visual effect! Looking forward to a Toraverb enlarged GUI update now

Thanks D16!
