Fab Filter's Pro Limiter

My advice, DON'T buy because it's the last day of a sale.... there's always another and figure what sings for you... I own lots... only use Fab's beyond PC modules.
 
30 day full function trial... what's chu got to loose?

As good as I know Limiter 6 is, for me, it's just not quick and intuitive to set up. Personally, I find it confusing.

It is analogous to sitting someone in front of SONAR who is not used to seeing "everything exposed," but is worth the time investment to learn. Typically, as more parameters are exposed to the user, the cost of the product goes up as well (but Limiter 6 has no graphical plot embedded either). For "tinkering with a limiter," this is probably a sound starting point. The presets are good (some overzealous), but these presets can be readily tweaked/saved as desired. "Free and functional" makes it worth having even if never used.

I really love Fabfilter stuff in general. It's a lot more expensive than Waves sales though. And to be honest, while I have Pro-L, I still turn to L2 for quick "as-loud-as-the-competition" duties.

There's also a sale on T-Racks Grand suite. What do you guys think of T-Racks?

IDK about all those other tools and I now own the Concrete Limiter which is quite nice and easy to use but before that I was quite fond of the Blue Tubes limiter that was included in X3.
 
Maybe check that out if you haven't already because you may find it does what you need and you can toss your cash at something else. It has some simple presets and like most limiters is pretty basic to use. It's not harsh when it limits from what I remember. I don't crush things with limiters though. Just to raise levels and catch any potential overages on a master.
 
I do use the Concrete Limiter sometimes now to squish bass parts but I'm not sure I even really like doing that.
 
/not a "pro"

I use and like the IK limiter, along with various other T-Racks bits. I don't know what the current deal is but I do know that no-one should ever buy anything from them at full price, since there's always a sale or deal of some sort on.
 
I also use and like Toneboosters' Barricade quite a bit. They never have sales, but the prices are more than reasonable.

MeldaProduction has a free pack of very good plugins. There's a limiter in the pack. They're free but not slouches in quality.
