So I've always loved recording.. And have pretty much got the hang of capturing a good sound.
But I can't seem to grasp the stages after that (compression etc).
All I can afford is software with my part-time job (as a student).
What are the best compressor/limiter plugins that are available to someone like me?
You're not going to like me for this - but I want to be able to brickwall audio cleanly. Whenever I try I get some static. It seems to disappear when I mix it with the other tracks and then sounds fine, but I'd be a lot more comfortable if it just wasn't there.. Y'know?
I currently use Voxengo Elephant 3.1 because I heard it was fantastic for this (which it is - it does its job) but like I said I get a bit of static. Is there any other plugin out there that can do it better or am I just not using Elephant right?

Thanks very much :)
I tried Yohng's Limiter but it didn't work for some reason (none of the controls responded at all).. So I did some looking around and found a different version of it which works absolute wonders! Not a single complaint!
The audio is a pure wall and no horrible static :)
Free ones might work. Functional is something I prize over soun

Functional is something I prize over sound quality at my level.
I take it you want VSTs?
You could use [="link removed[/]="link removed[/] to find plugins for anything you need, or you can follow some recommendations...
Compressor, I like to use [[url=http://="http://www.reaper.f…"]ReaComp[/]="http://www.reaper.f…"]ReaComp[/] from that plugin pack. The XComp is sometimes useful too.
Limiter, I like this for soft limiting: [="http://gvst.co.uk/gmax.htm"]GMax[/]="http://gvst.co.uk/g…"]GMax[/].

Hoooo hah, I love the smell of burnt rubber in a crash test warehouse.
