IвЂ™m actually a big fan of UADвЂ™s Precision Multiband, so I was very excited to check out SonnoxвЂ™s dynamic EQ and see if this alternative would dethrone one of my current favorites. Follow these links to read about the Chandler Limited Curve Bender and the Fender вЂ™55 Tweed Deluxe plugins. Not to get too nerdy here, but I just love alternate takes on multi-band compression.

WeвЂ™ve recently already reported on two other new plugins that were released by UAD recently in their software update v8.6, and this is the third. Then again, a client on a mastering job when I blind test A/Bed 3 limiters for him chose MultiLimit as his preference. Universal Audio releases Sonnox Oxford Limiter v2 Plugin. The monitoring is also not ideal, the gain reduction meter goes from 0 to 36dB in equal scale, which is a pita because almost everything is going to be in the 0-8dB range and anything less than 3dB gain reduction doesn't even seem to show on the meter and the scale is so small, you can't really tell if it's 2dB GR or 4dB GR happening. The Sonalksis plugins suffer from not having oversampling, they are actually pretty transparent if you're not pushing them hard and have a longer release time and smoothing at least 67% but are less transparent when pushed harder. Elephants' oversampling at 4 and 8 times does a great job on preventing intersample peaks. If you want 8x oversampling in Elephant, then audition the material with 2x on and just change it to 8x on rendering. 4x oversampling is more than enough really. Xenon is my #2 limiter and useful in certain situations, but I use it only about 20-25% of the time in preference to Elephant 3.ДЁx oversampling is a CPU killer and only to be used for 'offline' type usage.

I demoed Pro L and was impressed with it, but not enough to shell out money on it given I already own a couple of others, including Elephant.Д®lephant can be extremely transparent too, depending on the algorithm and release time you select. Sonalksis Maxlimit and Multilimit sound good also,but i found them to add too much colour to my taste,and not as transparent as Ozone 4 or Elephant.but hey,sometimes adding colour just works. The threshold sets both the point where limiting begins and the output for the plugin. ItвЂ™s also a little expensive and is typical 264 when not on sale. They both sound better and more transparent than any Waves limiter i've ever heard. The Sonnox Oxford Limiter has a fantastic sound, but can be a little convoluted in its design. Voxengo Elephant sounds even better,especially with the oversampling(8x kills my cpu however).it sounds a bit more detailed than Ozone 4's limiter in my experience when demoeing it.if i didn't have Ozone 4,i would most definitely have bought this baby. I use Ozone 4's limiter (with the 'intelligent 2' algorithm).to me it's one of the best sounding i ever worked with or 's really transparent.but i only use it very gently,as i like things to stay dynamic in nature.if you push it too hard you get horrible pumping though(which all limiters at some point will do when pushed too hard,but that's another subject).
