I know the UA topic may be overdone at this point, but I have a few questions regarding their equipment and your personal experience with UA gear. I don't have a lot of bucks but I'm looking for a mid to high-end mic preamp, with vintage sound and colour for about $1600. The Putnam designs have always excited me, and some of my favorite records were recorded with the 610 console.

I am looking for a good Compressor/Limiter plug In for mastering.

One kind of like Sony's Wavehammer with these options.
Options:
Has an Input Gain fader(Wavehammer does not)
Allows Peak and RMS Compression
Ratios up to 50:1 or higher if possible.
Offers a Limiter to limit the Output

Hey guys,
I'm looking for a kickass, yet basic limiter plugin to put on some out of control horns in Sonar . any recommendations?

Any free ones worth noting?

Thanks

Hey guys,

Yeah I'm kinda new... but been lurking for a little while.

Looking at a couple of comp/limiters for the 2-bus... I'm currently using a pair of RNC's in "fine mode", a DL251 or a 166 depending on the project/song.

I believe I'm really in need of a dedicated unit... so far the short list is comprised of L2, PL-2, C2 and the 1968ME.

Any thoughts or recommendations?

My church has a small studio where we go from a Mackie D8B into a Alesis Masterlink. The question I have is what is a good stereo compressor/ limiting amp to go thru? There is a pretty good budget so we don't want to skimp on this.

Is there an 1176 plugin that works in either Sound Forge (for PC) or Bias Peak (for Mac)? I love the Bombfactory 1176 plugin that Digidesign owns but that seems to only work in Protools.

I've been checking a lot of websites and references and haven't found enough information on the subject. I guess the limiter is normally used under mastering phase. Can anyone explain or direct me to some website? Cheers!

I would like some opinion on what plugins are the best that suites vst, meaning, I have all the wave plugins but I only use the q10, which I think it is not bad, LinMB which squashes the creap out of things, L2 which is great for rms peak, but if anyone has any other thoughts on other plugins that work better I am open to suggestions.

Thank you very much.
