I realize this is a little OT but if your in the market for a transparent Limiter you might want to check out the Slate FG-X.

I'd like to get the L3 as I'm using the L2 for the final stage of mastering.  The L2 is very transparent- unless you go beyond 6 or 8dB of gain reduction.

Larry, glad to hear about your Ozone demo.  I think its limiter is more advanced than Waves' stuff, even though I'm a Waves fan. 
 
I never use Ozone's reverb ... been using Valhalla and sometimes Breverb lately.  Much better I think.
 
Ozone's EQ is cool, though.  Fun "matching" feature, and the alt-solo function is very useful (hit alt key to solo a band, then sweep up and down to find problem freqs).
 
The dynamics section can work wonders on a lot of material.  What I do is let the "learn" function set the bands, then use the histograms to set initial threshold levels.  Then tweak as needed.  The Gate works very well, too.   
 
Saturation is OK ... not really my favorite part, but sometimes comes in handy. 
 
If you've taken advantage of the Groove3 offer, there's a good Ozone tutorial in there.  Have fun!
 
Cheers,
Eddie

Usually I use the multiband and the limiter for mastering. Sometimes just a touch of the stereo or maximizing effect. Have to be careful though not to overdue it.

I reckon I'm going to demo this. Used to have an older VST2 demo although I don't recall it being very efficient on my system at that time.  The price is currently $99 which technically is around $20 per limiter component, so isn't too bad I suppose.
 
Having one process to handle many in one plug-in seems more logical to me. In essence this should be used on a final stereo mixdown really.

Zombies had feelings too. Looking at a latency chart for it. I will see if I can I resolve any latency issues I am having. I think my focusrite driver is broken. So may reinstall the 2.5 build.

In the end I ended up getting Ozone 7 Advanced in the Music Production Bundle 1...

Was VERY HAPPY I did!!

Ozone is a good production tool but the cost is a bit much for me right now.

I have pretty much switched over to the new Barricade 4 from Toneboosters. It's excellent!
I bet the new TDR LimiterNo.6 would also hang in there with the best of them.
