Without a doubt the best free plugin ever.If you like having your hearing

It's an automatic part of my "new song" template on the master out. As far as I'm concerned, there are many good reasons -- my ears, my speakers, my headsets -- for using it, and no reason whatsoever not to.

Yes much more useful than the usual limiter based approach.

Thanks for the heads up. Will use this from now on.

Developer is a good lad too

But being digital, the sound quality sucks.

This thing should be built into every DAW, as far as I'm concerned.

[el-bo (formerly ebow)]

What a great idea. And it's free

Thanks

@ere2learn - Thanks for the heads up!

@ CEREBUS - Pure and simple, GENIUS! Thank you for the free and very useful plugin. I expect I will use it regularly.

My hearing hasn't been the same since The Police concert in 1982. I gotta do everything I can to keep what I got left.

Well, it is built in to Reaper

I find myself having to use a limiter most of the time after this plugin as it still spikes for a few milliseconds or so when tripping. Not sure if that's a dc offset problem or what but it still results in a loud (albeit brief) pop. Still helps though. This and logic's limiter have been in all of my projects for a few years now.
