Hi, I've been researching what plug-in limiter to buy because I need a very high quality and transparent sounding one.
My main ones of interest are the Fabfilter Pro-L and Voxengo Elephant, I'm not a professional ME but would really appreciate a mastering engineers opinion on this subject. I produce mostly classical guitar music so transparency is very important and very minimal limiting is what I'm trying to achieve, I would like to reduce the dynamic range to K-14 without noticable artifacts! would it be a better idea to master a classical guitar album to the K-20 standard? and also is the -23LUFS too quiet for this style? my system has a lot of volume and headroom so I don't always get it loud enough, and it's hard to tell if it's way too quiet or 'just right' because I've not done this before and have lack of experience.
regards,
Ben.
