l2 limiter

Hi guys and girls !
I just found out the Fabfilter issued a new version of their excellent Limiter
They included level compensation to avoid being tricked with the volume change
And Yes finally : LUFS metering !
I'm gonna love it, I'm sure,,, (where's my credit card ?)

I have never really gotten BETTER results using a compression plug, like WavesAPI 2500, or RComp, etc...than I do simply using L1+ ultramaximizer or the L2 Ultramaximizer...

This question goes to STC8/OCL2.
How do you folks generally use these two units?
OCL2 for tighting overall and STC8 for catching some peaks?

I am considering an STC8 in close future.
Thanks

Hope this is the right forum...
I am trying to use my Waves L2 plug to dither in Sound Forge. After I render the file, it still shows as a 24 bit wave. If I dither thru Sound Forge, it will then show 16 bit. Will Sound Forge allow you to use a plugin for dithering instead of theirs?
Thanks

Is there a difference?
Except for the converters.

Please help.

I got these 2 units for the mastering. Which do you think is the best way to use both of them.

I make my mix ready in the Pro Tools and I record again the file in one of my interfaces through the Finalizer + L2 (Hardware).

Thanks

What options are available which would provide L1/L2 type processing at a low cost as a plug in?

I just want to try some stuff out to see if this type of effect is for me.

Would you ever use the L2 for tracking any Instrument?

The Hardware costs 5 times more. What does the hardwarer's got more than the input features etc.

Well I go with the L2 into the Genelecs and the loudness blow me away. I have to turn the output down to listen to the music but I can't record over the digital outpu of course cause the signal is too low.
What shall I do?
