Concrete Limiter ?
I never had X1 as I waited and jumped from 8.5 to X2, I was told that X2 producer included all that was in X1 expanded. Was the concrete limiter part of that? (Should I have it at this point?) or is/was that an additional add-on?

Somebody in another thread said they were having trouble with the Concrete Limiter and couldn't use it in X2. Is this a problem for anyone else, or is it mostly working OK?

It was always an extra, but there was a $10 deal if you upgrade a while back.
It was worth it. Simple to use, good results.

It's a great plug! I prefer it to the "intelligent 2" mode inside Ozone 4 (it's more predictable), so it's become my goto bus limiter. But some say Ozone 5's new limiter is much better...

Yes the Concrete Limiter works fine on my rig, and it's a great plug, even at full price IMHO

Groovey I can't find any reference to CL in the thread. I thank you for following up on my request but I still am not seeing anyone having any issue with the CL module.

Hey Dave, I bought it and have only tried it once. Set to -.01 it was still allowing overs which none of my other limiters did. I will give it a shot on another project where I am not pushing so hard but I ended up pulling it out of the chain which sucks when you spend $80 bucks only to use something else you already had.

i believe so.... whatever the default is it where it is set to, I need to open the project to check but my other limiters did not behave that way allowing the overs.

I have not tried it yet, but apparently this one is pretty close to the waves L1 limiter - and it's FREE!! Be interested to hear how it compares to concrete (which I don't have). Anyone care to test it out? http://www.yohng.com/software/w1limit.html

There initially were some problems with the Concrete Limiter and X2. But, it appears that they were addressed in the quickfix (as a side effect of fixing something else).

John ... in post #83, djjhart says "I had a few crashes but , we figured it out , it was the concrete limiter , so I just don't use that". I wonder if it's the same thing Bill is refering to? dj ... (don't know if you're looking in this thread) did you give up on the Concrete Limiter? Or have you tried it with the quickfix?

Dave, I'm using both. I still favour the T-racks limiter on my master bus, but I'm using the concrete limiter on tracks and other busses
