Your Favorite Limiter Plugin?

[Macaroni]

I just replaced the UAD Precision Limiter with the Flux Elixir. When I compared the two, the Elixir was much more transparent. I always thought the PL was transparent, but in comparison it was more than obvious - more air, open, no smearing. And you can run it in Hi Res mode with offline bounces.

I own and use the following limiters:

UAD Precision Limiter
Voxengo Elephant 3
PSP Xenon
PSP Vintage Warmer (limiter built in)
Pro Audio DSP DSM-V2
Sonnox Limiter

I have demoed:

Waves L2 & 3
Fab Filter Pro-L
Ozone 5 Limter

For the music I work on (being mainly dance, pop, etc), the DSM-V2 and Sonnox are the absolute best. They sound incredibly clean and clear, and don't suffer from the high frequency coloration that some of the other limiter plugins seem to impart.

For me the Pro L seemed to leave a hole in the middle, like some kind of emptiness. When I bypassed it, it felt right again. I had the same impression with Ozone 5, it adds some high frequency enhancement that I don't like.

With the DSM and Sonnox, I never feel like a limiter is in use. I also like using Elephant and Xenon on more softer delicate music, sometimes just on the individual bus groups.

I also have all those plugins.

Yet the most i use is L 2 - go figure to me is a great limiter - also been using the sonnox more n more lately.
Got tired of the fgx used it for a while, good for rock- and i don't like the zenon very much, when pushed you get really ugly smashed sound..

My 2 cents

I like Elephant because it is very versatile. I will use anything to get the job done!

most of the time I use fabfilter pro l and izotope mximizer, but in some of my last project I've used the sonalksis MaxLimit and it is working really well with more transients (if possible) than the izotope.

Working mostly on Pop.
Recently been using Pro L and have been very pleased with the results.

Got DSMv2 and wasn't used to the sound on compression, so haven't tested the limiter yet.

I wonder how the Flux compares to Pro L.

I do mostly ridiculously loud electronic music (Electro House, Dubstep, DnB, etc.) and also various types of House/Electro/Pop production

Pro-L seems to be able to adapt to whatever I'm working on and deliver great results

I used Xenon for years before until I one day decided to try Pro-L and I haven't gone back

before that I used IK Multimedia limiter and clipper

I've also tried Ozone, Sonnox Limiter, Sonnox Inflator, Elephant and Waves L3

Pro-L just always came out on top in versatility and usability, also the presets are on point, the Dubstep preset has made it into tons of my tracks with barely any tweaking!
