I'm doing a 30 day demo of Fab Filter pro-L and really like it. I just don't really want to shell out $200 for a plugin so I don't know what I'll do when it's up. Going to mix as much as I can with the trial!
Yeah, is there not a stock limiter in your DAW? Unless it's a super package with a bunch of things in it, I wouldn't dish out $200 for a single limiter plugin.
With a few minutes spent going across the entire mix, you can probably manipulate a few extra db's of gain, if that's what you think a fancier limiter is going to do. I'd rather spend the $200 on nicer mics, room treatment, instruments, etc... in the home studio sector, we can hardly take advantage of what a "nicer" limiter can do anyways. I suppose if you're putting it on something like vocals or a bass, something all over the place dynamically, it would be more useful. But for a few db gain reduction, just about any limiter can do that fine enough - turn on true peak, and play with the release.
