Fuller and more natural sounding, while sonnox sounds a bit "squeezed", slightly aritificial and "metallic" comparing to it. Breathes less as if ... I was quite pleased. Today I also tried the new Sonalksis limiter - well, I did not like it much: a bit "weak" sound and effort comparing to these two to my ears ...
Ivo, have you ever tried the Ozone limiter? I liked the new Elephant limiter ok, probably better than any other limiter, but it seems to suck some air out regardless of setting (I know that matters to you too). Ozone is the only limiter (in intelligent mode) that doesn't seem to do that.
