Aloha a,
To my ears each limiter (like all gear) has its own ‘colour’.
With some limiters the colour is no color at all. (or as lil colour as possible)
I pick the colour that complements and is appropriate on the sound canvas at the time.
UA (hardware)
Manley (hardware)
Joe Meek (hard and software) (AES/EBU)
Waves (software)
Ik (software)
And now I am starting to use (for drums/guits/basses at least) the
strip modules in the C7 MixConsole.
Not the best but very fast to get to and then
‘swap them out’ later if necessary.
