Today goes a little more into depth of EQ choices

[fragments]

outbound, if I can trouble you again, of all the limiters out there, why Voxengo Elephant and do you use any of their other plug ins? I use Voxengo Elephant and wonder if there are some features on it I don't know about. I'm slowly getting into doing very basic self-masters of my own tunes and perhaps some very, very basic mastering for another project I'm working on.

Also, since you just posted about EQs...do you rate any of Voxengo's EQs? I love their GlissEQ

Funnily enough my next post is actually about limiters so keep an eye out for that!

The reason I went with Elephant is for the price it is one of the most versatile Limiters out there. It has several modes you can switch between to get different sounds (some are nicer on dynamics, others aren't as dirty) As well as that you have release control, DC filter and dither (if you need 'em)

Other one's I've tried and liked are Fab-L (quite a common one), A.O.M Invisible Limiter, The flux stuff is pretty cool as well.

I'm afraid I haven't actually tried the Voxengo EQ's so couldn't comment Will have to check them out at some point though!

^^ what do you think of vladg's limiter no.6?

Honestly not tried it out, from what I've read though it looks like a pretty versatile tool. M/S and multiband processing, and 4x oversampling. For a freebie it's worth checking out

Thanks for being a sport about my questions! Checking out the limiters post now.

Yea, I'll be going back to manual on Elephant and checking out the limiting modes for sure : ) Loving these blog posts.

Cheers man, yeah limiters are funny because it's so easy to just pull down the threshold till it gets to that sweet spot between ('this sounds loud' & 'this doesn't sound like garbage!') and leave it at that.

Taking the time to try out different modes, release times etc will let you be able to get away with a lot more GR before it starts to sound bad. What I usually do is hit the threshold so it's taking about 10db off (really obvious limiting) then get my controls right here and fine-tune, then ease off to a level I'm happy with, gets me results I'm after every time

Nobody uses Izotope Ozone "Loudness Maximizer" for limiting?

Sorry I'm confused

A processor that offers several limiting modes, controls and displays that are suited for limiting as well as additional dithering controls & DC filter options which are found the majority of the time in limiters (as they are commonly the last piece in the chain)

You would consider this not a limiter? It may not spell it out in the name but this most certainly is one.

Or were you saying that it is a limiter but nobody uses it?

It is a limiter ofc. I'm just saying that it's underrated.
