a few software master limiters compared
parameters (where applicable)
- gain +9dB (ridiculous),
- output -0.3dB
- other parameters adjusted within that context to give as decent a sound as
possible
raw file (ok, original was a wav, but I'm trying to spare your bandwidth - ping me if you want original)
Kjaerhus Classic Master Limiter
McDSP MC3000 (not truly a limiter, but a multiband comp... still interesting)
the +3 and +6 tests
BuzMaxi2 +3 (Hard)
BuzMaxi3 +3 (aggressive)
Elemental Audio Finis +3 (pre-Roger Nichols though I think the plug is the same)
GVST Gcomp +3 (guesstimated because this is really a compressor)
Ozone +3 (very fast limiting, @ .1 = more distortion, less pumping IME)
Peak Master +3 (I really am not sure what this plugin is, I think it's from Wavelab - set at -2 on the "softness" control)
