LoudMax

I have VSTs I have bought for limiting, but I always find myself going to this plugin. Overall, I like it because it doesn't really affect the sound on a drastic level, and is just a good useful limiter. I generally throw this on my mains for quick exports when sharing with people and I am always pleased. I should probably experiment with it more on channels. Amazing plugin.

The only limiter/maximizer you need. Dead simple, and helps you intuitively understand limiting and compression in general, whereas other more complex compressor plugins can leave you not understanding what exactly you're doing for years. No fuss with installation or activation.

The only thing you need to know is that it make quieter things louder than already loud things, and all without introducing clipping. A very desirable trait, since sometimes we want quieter things more audible in an overall mix, but we want to ensure that we're not distorting. Which is great not only for music but also streaming/podcasts. This of course lowers (or tightens) the dynamic range, and increases any pronounced noise floor. So it should be used sparingly if you wish to preserve dynamic range of say, a piano.

An amazing plugin, intuitive and dead easy to use that gives exactly what he promises to give, a transparent compression even at high level that rivals in quality with many commercial plugins, added to this very low latency, very low CPU imprint and finally it's free...so it deserves IMHO it five stars hands down .

Very good limiter for a quick master. Pushes drums up front in your mix very nicely. Creates a very warm and transparent sound. Great FREE Limiter, one the best if not these best free limiter. Recommend.

Great free plguin. Compact and easy to use it does its job very well. It does not colour the sound and there's no distortion at all.

I've compared to the Waves L2 ultramaximizer and I can't see any difference.

Highly suggested.
