Gearslutz.com - View Single Post - Can the Lavry gold ADC SOFT LIMIT replace a brickwall limiter

Lion · 11th June 2007

Ishould qualify this by stating that many mastering studios do the above, however, most of them do not, instead following the A/D with one or more digital boxes

So i was thinking right about this (soft sat use), it could be useful but a specialized limiter would be nice too. (depend on the source) And maybe sometimes using the soft sat and a digital brickwall limiter together.

Lion: In terms of saturation, you might want to try the Oxford Inflator plug-in. At this point in time I know of nothing that can do what the Lavry stuff does. Because the sat. is a digital function, I hope he will one day have it put into software form!

I have the inflator (with my powercore) it's a good plug, i use it sometimes on the master or a mix buss. I can make a similar job with my Manley Vari-MU and with my Apogee with the soft sat ON (insert in protools), very good results (push up the input and/or output of the manley for making the tube work and then the soft sat).

Thanks
