What is your opinion of the Concrete Limiter?
I'm thinking about getting this since it's on sale and works with pro channel. How would you guys rate the quality of it compared to other commercial limiters?

I like it very much. I have used many others in the past but I find the CL to be outstanding.

Nice and transparent, without the artefacts heard in some lower quality brick wall limiters. Also, 64-bit signal path. I've tried a few but am 100% happy with Concrete Limiter.

It's terrific because: 1) Sounds great even when limiting heavily, 2) Made for Prochannel, 3) Very low latency which can't be said about many high quality limiters.

Get it. Sounds great. I use it on many different things. Works wonders on bass and drums.

Worth every penny - and then some! If you have cash, it's a no brainer. I use it as a bus limiter and I am pretty much a full time addict to it!

I bought it yesterday - it's not bad, not bad at all ...better than I expected, actually. I was intending to use it just to tame any rogue spikes in drums, but after messing around with it, I can see goosing it up a little more than I planned since it sounds pretty good - on both single tracks and busses. Only tried it on drums so far, but I'll use it on other stuff as well. CL vs Ozone 5: http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.aspx?m=2500934

I use it on tracks, busses and the master.
I've even used it successfully on a twelve string acoustic.

Good deal! Not one bad review. I have and use several good free limiters, but I've been wanting this one for awhile. Thanks to all.

Thanks Clintmartin for asking and others for responding. I have been wanting and good limiter for a while and this CL looks like a good buy to me.

It's 87% there. If you want the other 13%, it costs a lot more.

Ok, I got it! It's nice to have it in the pro channel. Now for a (ignorant) question. On the master buss the limiter should be last, so should the console emulator be first? I'm thinking CE, EQ, COMP, Limiter.

Best $10 I spent in a long time. [Got it on sale for $10 when it first came out.]
