I did try out No. 6 quite a bit, 3+years ago. I never determinted that it was not hanging with the good ones, at the time, but it always took me to long to figure things out and dial them in. They are on my list to try again, as I fell in love with Nova and Slick.

Definitely worth the effort of studying it in depth, if you ask me. And definitely SO much more than a brickwall limiter.

Compared both demos, IMO the original is way better . Maybe the new one is more “transparent” or something but the old one has this really nice gluing effect that I like, almost more like a bus compressor than a limiter. I’m willing to bet that’s why FG-X 2 has never happened, they’re probably sitting there thinking well s*** we’ve been hyping this thing up but dammit if we didn’t get it right the first time.

Best sounding plugin you can find, perfect finalizer.

new modern III mode is incredibly nice

Who else on here is using this G2 as a bus limiter in compressor mode? Just started doing this and am shocked at how well suited it is for this.

Only just tried this for the first time. Been using DMG for a while now. I am amazed at how finely i can adjust the transient response. I have wanted something like this for ages.
I do wish that the GUI looked a bit nicer/more modern. but the way the pluin is laid out is actually very cool indeed - it has a great workflow. All the stepped controls and selectable 'a-c' presets make for really quick tweaking.
Both this and the EQ make me think of analog workflows brought into the digital age.
Also the upgrade scheme looks pretty good.

Very good stuff. Would be curious as to how many people are still using this over Limitless and the rest (Pro L etc)
I know it was a while since this one came out.
Is it likely to get an update any time soon?

A.O.M. updates regularly with bug fixes and even some new features every once in a while so the answer is "possibly"... what do you want to update anyway!?

Also, I'm very curious as how you're dealing with the plug-in for adjusting the transient response - I haven't gone into that territory yet and I bet you can do some neat stuff. Thank you!

Armin Van Buuren was using A.O.M. Invisible Limiter in his recent Masterclass. I hadn't come across it before then.

OH! Had no idea, updating now!

The manual only refers to Modern II ??
is there really a III ?

cheers

Yup.

Manuals are not the best asset in A.O.M. plug-ins. Luckily, sound quality is

Aren't the loudness wars over? Who needs a limiter anymore?

Thanks

Was wondering the same thing but even so went ahead and bought Weiss MM-1 and Elevate on special this week.

A mastered music would sound disconnected without a brickwall limiter and or clipper.

I was kinda joking. I still tap the limiter a bit just no need to slam it. With just a tad, any limiter will do.

I have to say when i demoed G2 i found the attack/release and general transient shaping options exceptional for work on drums/drum buss/just about everything.
The quality wqas absolutely brilliant.
I think if you are interested in limiting drums, this is the one.

However i am trying to make a decision between this and Pro-L at the moment.
I am building more dynamics into my mixing process (now that we have streaming algorithms, i actually want to make music that sounds as good as it can, rather than as loud as it can)
So i am trying to decide between the two. Whilst G2 is amazing for its transient shaping abilities, i also find Pro-L to sound really natural...
Anyone own both?

I still think limitless is best for slamming and pure loudness, but i have that covered and am trying to leave it behind.

I'm not a Pro-L owner, I tried it and never got along with it... however Limitless is becoming a go-to on bus duties, lately I've been using it in non-ISP mode and with just two bands going with the crossover at about 250-300hz, and the transient separation mode on, and it's just wonderful set up like this on the 2 bus or drums, and isn't so crazy on the CPU at least on my system. I also use G2 this way as well, in Through mode, both work so well that I'm satisfied with the two.

Your usage of limitless sounds like my most common usage. I think overall, Limitless is the best (as all DMG products are IMO) but i particularly love the way A.O.M deals with transients/attack and release.
I thought i didn't like Pro-L that much, but when i re demoed the new version i thought it sounded remarkably natural.

I have Ozone and Elevate also (though elevate messes with the phase too much for me these days) so maybe i should just stick with what i have.
