Well, you could use ReaXComp. That has and unlimited amount of bands and the ratio goes to 100. From what I've learned, anything over 10 is basically working as a limiter.

The HP/LP in ReaComp only tells the compressor where to look for peaks, but if I remember right, the entire signal still gets compressed.

P.S. thanks for the kind words. Just trying to help out where I can

The compressor that came with Reaper (I have an old version still) has a ratio that goes to infinity (like a limiter) and has a selectable band. I suppose if you wanted to make it work on more than one band, you could setup more than one compressor.

i can't seem to find any of the generic reaper plugs... i must not have installed them correctly?

So basically any compressor that goes to infinity can be used as a limiter?

wierd. When I got Reaper, it came with dozens of plugins. I believe a limiter is basically just a compressor with really high compression ratio.

This isn't multiband, but here is a good free limiter... http://www.yohng.com/w1limit.html

Yeah, I'm thinking that I must have installed it wrong

The good news is, I went on a VST hunt when i got reaper and I do have a multi band compressor with a ratio that can go to 10:1 so if a 10:1 ratio on a comp does indeed act as a limiter I believe I should be safe.

Here's the printed version of the manual: http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/up-and-running-a-reaper-user-guide/11269053

I used Reaper for about 6 months, just experimenting with it. The first time I got a paid session where I used it I paid for the program (a good thing to do). The printed manual is great and much faster than relying on a PDF version (and you can scribble in the margins if you want).

Run the installer again and make sure the "Audio processing plugins" box is checked. No need to uninstall first either

In REAPER's FX browser, there should be a Cockos category and a JS category. The Cockos ones are the ReaPlugs (ie: ReaXComp their multiband compressor)
