vehicular · 30th May 2007

For mastering - previously I used the precision limiter from the UAD-1 studio pack into a Summit DCL 200 compressor.

the trial period for the precision limiter has expired - can anyone recommend another good transparent limiter in the UAD pack?

or should i use my Amek Neve DMCL as the limiter? if so what settings make it limit as transparent as possible?

also - can anyone recommend a good spectrum analyzer that is free?
something with an average loudness meter - easy to read.

i'm basically trying to boost volume with as little digital processing as possible. is there a trick? Neve limit to summit compression? is that the answer?
